Exegesis
Erōtēsō {ἐρωτήσω | e-rō-tḗ-sō} ‘I will ask’ frames the statement as a purposeful petition directed to ton patera {τὸν πατέρα | ton pa-té-ra} ‘the Father’, and kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ ties that request directly to the Father’s answering action.
The prepositional phrase meth’ hymōn {μεθʼ ὑμῶν | meth hy-môn} ‘with you’ emphasizes companionship, and eis ton aiōna {εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα | eis ton ai-ō-na} ‘into the age’ is an idiomatic durative expression that conveys enduring presence; the translation renders this with distinct English phrasing to preserve the sense without flattening the Greek imagery.
