Eme (ἐμέ) is the emphatic accusative form of the first-person singular pronoun in Greek, equivalent to "me" with emphasis. Unlike the unemphatic me, eme draws strong attention to the speaker as the object of action. In the NT, it appears frequently in Jesus' statements about Himself and His relationship to the Father and believers.
The emphatic eme in John's Gospel carries extraordinary theological weight. In John 14:9, Jesus says: "The one who has seen me (eme) has seen the Father.\” The emphasis is not incidental — Jesus is stressing the direct, unmediated revelation of the Father in His own person. Philip's request for God to "show them the Father" meets the answer that the Father is fully present and revealed in the eme — in Jesus Himself.
Similarly, John 12:44-45: "Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me... and the one who looks at me (eme) sees the one who sent me.\” The emphatic pronoun in these Johannine statements functions as a Christological declaration — to encounter Jesus is to encounter God. This is the grammar of incarnation.
