Exegesis

The causal clause hoti ego pros ton patera poreuomai {ὅτι ἐγὼ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα πορεύομαι | hóti egṓ pros ton patéra poreúomai} ‘because I am going toward the Father’ grounds the promise in Jesus’ departure, with the present tense of poreuomai portraying that movement as already underway and still unfolding.
