Exegesis

The sentence opens with the narrative frame apekrithe Iesous kai eipen auto {ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ | a-pe-krí-thē Iē-soûs kai ei-pen au-tō}, a standard Johannine introduction to direct speech that foregrounds Jesus by placing His name between two aorist verbs.

The final sequence, kai pros auton eleusometha kai monen par auto poiesometha {καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐλευσόμεθα καὶ μονὴν παρʼ αὐτῷ ποιησόμεθα | kaí pros au-tón e-leu-só-me-tha kai mo-nḗn par au-tō poi-ḗ-so-me-tha}, shifts to first person plural, joining Father and Son in a shared future action.
