Exegesis
The genitive humon {ὑμῶν | humôn} following kalesete is a possessive genitive, “your,” and the prepositional phrase epi tes ges {ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς | epí tês gês} ‘upon the earth’ specifies the sphere of application, limiting the prohibition to earthly figures.
The second half of the verse is a causal clause introduced by gar {γάρ | gár} ‘for’, providing the theological rationale: heis gar estin humon ho pater ho ouranios {εἷς γάρ ἐστιν ὑμῶν ὁ πατὴρ ὁ οὐράνιος | heîs gár estin humôn ho patḗr ho ouránios}.
In context — Matthew 23:9
And do not call anyone on the earth your Father , for One is your Father, the One in the heavens .
