92.1 · Discourse Referentials · Speaker

I too, I indeed = καί + ἐγώ; a reference to the speaker, with an added feature of emphasis in the form ἐγώ The terminology ‘first, second, and third persons’ reflects the normal order in Greek in which the so-called first person always occurred first in any listing of participants. The second person would be in the second position, and similarly, the third person would be in a third relative position. To preserve that order in English, however, could imply impoliteness, and it is for that reason that it is preferable to translate JHN 10:30 as ‘the Father and I are one.’
