John 17:13 — ExegesisTAB

The opening nyn de {νῦν δὲ | nyn de} marks a temporal shift with mild contrast, moving the prayer toward its immediate conclusion. The phrase pros se {πρὸς σὲ | pros se} frames the Father as the direct goal of the movement, while erkhomai {ἔρχομαι | ér-kho-mai} and lalo {λαλῶ | lalô} hold together approach and speech as linked actions. The location phrase en tō kosmō {ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ | en tō kós-mō} does more than identify place; it sets the utterance within the public human sphere where the disciples remain. Hina {ἵνα | hína} introduces the purpose of the sentence, and ekhōsin {ἔχωσιν | é-khō-sin} expresses the intended possession of the result. The repeated article around tēn kharan tēn emēn {τὴν χαρὰν τὴν ἐμὴν | tēn kha-rán tēn emḗn} makes the joy specific and personally belonging to the speaker. Peplērōmenēn {πεπληρωμένην | pe-plērō-ménēn} functions adjectivally, presenting that joy as already brought to completion and remaining in that completed state. The closing en heautois {ἐν ἑαυτοῖς | en he-au-toîs} locates the effect inwardly, showing that the joy is intended to be realized within the disciples themselves rather than merely observed from outside.
