Exegesis
The temporal frame en ekeinē tē hēmera {ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ | en ekeinē tē hēmera} ‘in that day’ places the promise in a definite future moment of disclosure.
The first clause, egō en tō patri mou {ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ πατρί μου | e-gō en tō patri mou}, is verbless in Greek and relies on en {ἐν | en} to express relational indwelling rather than ordinary location.
The next pair of clauses, kai hymeis en emoi kagō en hymin {καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ ἐν ὑμῖν | kai hymeis en emoi kagō en hymin}, mirrors the first clause and creates a symmetrical pattern of mutual indwelling.
