Exegesis
Two parallel prepositional phrases eis touto {εἰς τοῦτο | eis toû-to} ‘for this’ govern the perfect verbs gegennēmai {γεγέννημαι | ge-gén-nē-mai} ‘I have been born’ and elēlytha {ἐλήλυθα | e-lḗ-lu-tha} ‘I have come,’ with the perfect aspect underscoring enduring effects of both birth and mission.
In context — John 18:37
Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So, You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world , to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
