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 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 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.
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 context — John 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.
