Exegesis
The quoted material then pairs hypago {Ὑπάγω | hypágō} ‘I am going away’ with erchomai {ἔρχομαι | érkhomai} ‘I am coming’, joined by kai {καί | kaí} and directed by pros {πρός | prós} with the accusative, so the movement is intentionally two-way: away from the disciples and toward them.
The first causal hoti {ὅτι | hóti} gives the reason for that joy: Jesus is going pros ton patera {πρὸς τὸν πατέρα | pros tòn patéra}.
