Exegesis
The purpose indicator eis touto gar {εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ | eîs toûto gàr} ‘for this purpose’ introduces ophthen soi {ὤφθην σοι | ōphthēn soi} ‘I appeared to you,’ presenting the Christophany as a completed divine revelation.
In context — Acts 26:16
But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you as a servant and a witness both of the things you have seen of Me and of the things in which I will appear to you.
