Exegesis

The opening articular participial phrase ho echon tas entolas mou kai teron autas {ὁ ἔχων τὰς ἐντολάς μου καὶ τηρῶν αὐτάς | ho échōn tas entolás mou kai tē-rōn autás} functions as a substantive subject: possession of Jesus’ commands is immediately paired with ongoing observance, so the two participles describe one and the same disciple profile.

The final sequence, kago agapeso auton kai emphaniso autō emauton {κἀγὼ ἀγαπήσω αὐτὸν καὶ ἐμφανίσω αὐτῷ ἐμαυτόν | kagō a-ga-pē-sō au-ton kai em-pha-ni-sō au-tō e-mau-ton}, stacks two future promises under the emphatic first-person pronoun: Jesus will respond with love and with self-disclosure.
