Exegesis
The imperfect emellen {ἤμελλεν | ḗmellen} combined with the infinitive apothneskein {ἀποθνῄσκειν | apothnḗiskein} expresses imminent future from the narrator’s viewpoint, so the clause reads as a forward-looking description of the death that was already approaching. The syntax therefore interprets the surrounding trial scene as the means by which Jesus’ prior saying reached completion.
In context — John 18:32
This was so that the declaration of Jesus would be brought to completion, the declaration He had made, showing what kind of death He was about to die .
