Exegesis
The interrogative clause foregrounds ten psychēn sou {Τὴν ψυχήν σου | Tḕn psychḗn sou} ‘your life,’ underscoring the total self offered, while hyper emou {ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ | hypér emoû} ‘for Me’ frames the intended sacrifice toward Jesus.
In context — John 13:38
Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.”
