Exegesis
The object ton patera {τὸν πατέρα | tón pa-té-ra} ‘the Father’ precedes the verb heoraken {ἑώρακέν | he-ó-ra-ken} ‘has seen’, with the indefinite subject tis {τις | tis} ‘anyone’ following the verb, giving a broad, indefinite scope: “has anyone seen the Father.”
The demonstrative houtos {οὗτος | hoû-tos} ‘this one’ resumes and emphasizes the same subject, now fronted before the second heoraken {ἑώρακεν | he-ó-ra-ken}, creating a strong focus: “this one has seen the Father.” The repeated perfect tense heoraken highlights a completed act of seeing with abiding significance, underscoring the unique and enduring vision of the Father possessed by the one from God. In translation, the clarification force of oukh hoti is rendered with “Not that” and “It is not that,” and the exceptive ei me is expressed as “except” / “except for,” preserving both the denial of misunderstanding and the strict exclusivity of access to the Father’s vision.
