Exegesis

The content clause hoti ēlthen autou hē hōra {ὅτι ἦλθεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα | hóti ḗlthen autoû hē hṓra} functions as the direct object of “knowing,” with the genitive autou marking possession of the appointed hour.

The successive aorist participle agapēsas {ἀγαπήσας | agapḗsas} “having loved” refers back to Jesus’ enduring relationship with His disciples, tous idious tous en tō kosmō {τοὺς ἰδίους τοὺς ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ | toús idíous toús en tō kósmō}, emphasizing both possession and their continued presence.

In contextJohn 13:1

Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus , aware that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father , having loved His own who were in the world, continued to love them until the very end.
