Exegesis
The copula estin {ἐστίν | estín} ‘is’ links subject and predicate, and the emphatic numeral heis {εἷς | heîs} ‘one’ with the article ho {ὁ | hò} ‘the’ emphasizes singularity in the divine title christos {χριστός | Christós} ‘Christ.’ This construction contrasts human guidance with the singular authority of the Messiah.
Root and etymology
chriochi–rho–iota–omega
“anointed one, Messiah”
In context — Matthew 23:10
Do not be called guides , for your Guide is One, the Christ .
