Samuel,

How would you translate EMOI, assuming it is Nom Plural? 

εν τουτω γνωσονται παντες [οτι εμοι μαθηται εστε] εαν αγαπην εχητε εν αλληλοις.....

...that you are OUR disciples...?

 Sincerely,

C. Q. Machiavelli

Dear b-greekers, 
in John 13,35 we read "emoì mathetaí este" that is analised like a Dative Possessive construction by Zerwick - Grosvenor. But I wonder why "emoí" cannot be a Nominative Plural Masculine of the possessive pronoun "emós, -é, -ón"? Can anyone shed light on it?
Thank you
