My

a possessive adjective of the first person, often used as a possessive pronoun with greater emphasis than the oblique forms of ego (see below), a measure of stress which should always be observed; it denotes (I) subjectively, (a) "what I possess," e.g., John 4:34; 7:16 (1st part); 13:35; 1—Corinthians 16:21; Galatians 6:11; Colossians 4:18 (1st clause); as a pronoun, absolutely (i.e., not as an adjective), e.g., Matthew 20:15; 25:27; Luke 15:31 , RV, "(all that is) mine," AV, "(all that) I have;" John 16:14,15; 17:10; (b) "proceeding from me," e.g., Mark 8:38; John 7:16 (2nd part); 8:37 (here the repetition of the article with the pronoun, after the article with the noun, lends special stress to the pronoun; more lit., "the word, that which is mine"); so in John 15:12 . Such instances are to be distinguished from the less emphatic order where the pronoun comes between the article and the noun, as in John 7:16 , already mentioned; (c) in the phrase "it is mine" (i.e., "it rests with me"), e.g., Matthew 20:23; Mark 10:40; (II) objectively, "pertaining or relating to me:" (a) "appointed for me," e.g., John 7:6 , "My time" (with the repeated article and special stress just referred to); (b) equivalent to an objective genitive ("of me") e.g., Luke 22:19 , "(in remembrance) of Me" (lit., "in My remembrance"); so 1—Corinthians 11:24 .
