Exegesis

The verse unfolds as a single complex sentence introduced by the temporal prepositional phrase pro tēs heortēs tou pascha {Πρὸ δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς τοῦ πάσχα | Pró dè tês heortês tou páscha}, which frames the narrative immediately prior to the Passover festival.

The purpose clause hina metabē ek tou kosmou toutou pros ton patera {ἵνα μεταβῇ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα | hína metabḗ ek tou kósmou toútou prós ton patéra} uses the aorist subjunctive metabē to express Jesus’ intended departure from the current fallen world to the Father, blending spatial and theological motion.

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.
