Exegesis
The explanatory clause erchetai gar ho tou kosmou archon {ἔρχεται γὰρ ὁ τοῦ κόσμου ἄρχων | ér-khe-tai gar ho toû kós-mou ár-khōn} uses gar to supply the reason for the curtailed speech, while the articular genitive chain ho tou kosmou archon frames “ruler of the world” as a fixed title.
In context — John 14:30
I will not speak at length with you any longer, for the ruler of the world is coming, and in Me he has nothing.
