Exegesis
In the first clause, eme apesteilas eis ton kosmon {ἐμὲ ἀπέστειλας εἰς τὸν κόσμον | emé apésteilas eis tón kósmon} places the direct object before the verb, giving Me prominence and presenting the sending as a completed mission toward the world.
The second clause, kago apesteila autous eis ton kosmon {κἀγὼ ἀπέστειλα αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν κόσμον | kagō apésteila autoús eis tón kósmon}, mirrors the first with kago {κἀγώ | kagō} ‘and I’ for emphasis and with the repeated destination phrase eis ton kosmon {εἰς τὸν κόσμον | eis tón kósmon}, which frames the verse and keeps the mission sphere in view. The repeated aorist verbs create a balanced, mirrored structure that presents the disciples’ sending as derivative from and patterned after the first sending.
In context — John 17:18
Just as You sent Me into the world , I also sent them into the world.
