Exegesis
The following nominal clause hē krisis hē emē alēthinē estin {ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθινή ἐστιν | hē krísis hē emḗ alēthinē estin} uses a double article construction (“the judgment, the mine”) to highlight the possessive emē and mark “My judgment” as a defined, distinctive category. The predicate adjective alēthinē stands before the copula estin, giving prominence to the quality “true, genuine.”
In context — John 8:16
And even if I judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me.
