Exegesis
The verse is structured as a conditional promise: ean {ἐάν | eán} ‘if’ introduces the protasis, followed by two coordinated aorist subjunctives, poreuthō {πορευθῶ | po-reu-thō} and hetoimasō {ἑτοιμάσω | he-toi-má-sō}, which present the departure and preparation as a single prospective action.
In context — John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am returning and will bring you to Myself, so that you also may be where I am.
