Exegesis
The direct speech begins with Nai {Ναί | Naí} 'Yes', a strong particle of affirmation, and then presents a solemn vocative address: kurie {κύριε | kú-ri-e} 'Lord', followed by the appositional nominative titles ho theos {ὁ θεός | ho the-ós} 'the God' and ho pantokrator {ὁ παντοκράτωρ | ho pan-to-krá-tōr} 'the Almighty'. This stacking of titles intensifies the portrayal of divine sovereignty.
