Exegesis

The future `pempsō {πέμψω | pémpsō}` then turns the condition into an intentional act of commissioning, and the repeated `pros hymas {πρὸς ὑμᾶς | pròs hymâs} ‘to you’` frames the whole verse around the Paraclete’s arrival for the disciples.

In contextJohn 16:7

Yet I declare to you the truth : it is in your interest that I depart; for if I do not depart, the Comforter will certainly not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.
