Exegesis
The verse begins with the emphatic egō Iēsous {Ἐγὼ Ἰησοῦς | Egō Iēsoûs}, foregrounding the speaker’s authority and identity as Jesus.
A self-revelatory formula follows with egō eimi {ἐγώ εἰμι | egṓ eimí}, linking hē rhiza kai to genos Dauid {ἡ ῥίζα καὶ τὸ γένος Δαυίδ | hē rhíza kai tò génos Dauíd} in apposition to convey both origin and lineage.
