Exegesis
The next clause, alla timo ton patera mou {ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου | al-LÁ ti-MŌ tón pa-TÉ-ra mou}, is coordinated with a strong adversative alla, setting Jesus’ true activity (“I honor the Father”) over against the false charge. The direct object phrase ton patera mou, with both article and possessive pronoun, foregrounds the intimate and exclusive relationship between Jesus and “my Father.”
In context — John 8:49
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon , but I honor my Father, and you dishonor Me.”
