| 26. Linguistic Exegesis The sentence is structured around two coordinated finite verbs, egnōrisa {ἐγνώρισα | egnṓrisa} ‘I made known’ and gnōrisō {γνωρίσω | gnō-rí-sō} ‘I will make known’, both governing the same object, to onoma sou {τὸ ὄνομά σου | tó onomá sou} ‘Your name’. That shared object keeps the focus on disclosure of identity rather than on a new topic. The shift from aorist to future moves from completed revelation to continuing revelation. The hina {ἵνα | hína} clause introduces the purpose of that disclosure: hē agapē {ἡ ἀγάπη | hē agápē} ‘the love’ is the intended result. The relative clause hēn ēgapēsas me {ἣν ἠγάπησάς με | hḗn ē-gapḗ-sás me} narrows the love to the specific love the Father has shown the Son, not love in general. The subjunctive ē {ᾖ | ē} expresses desired indwelling, a prayerful outcome rather than a bare statement of fact. The final kagō en autois {κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτοῖς | ka-gṓ en au-toîs} is climactic and emphatic: the Son’s own presence is placed in parallel with the indwelling love just named, bringing the verse to a personal conclusion marked by communion and union. |
