emos marks persons, things, words, and possessions as belonging to or identified with the speaker.

The attested use consistently marks a possessive relationship: it identifies people, things, actions, or qualities as belonging to or associated with the speaker. It can accompany a named item, as with “my sheep,” “my word,” and “my joy,” or stand with a broader expression for what is the speaker’s.

   The forms attach persons and things to the speaker: in John 10:27 the APB renders “My sheep hear my voice,” while John 15:12 has “This is my commandment.” It also marks what is the speaker’s in broader statements: the nominative plural neuter forms in John 17:10 occur in the clause the APB renders, “All that is mine is yours,” and John 16:14 refers to taking “from what is mine.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the possessive relation with “my,” “mine,” or “my own,” such as “my sheep,” “my commandment,” and “what is mine.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, individual English phrasing cannot always isolate the term’s contribution.
