Exegesis
Direct discourse follows in the concise utterance dipsō {Διψῶ | dip-sô} “I thirst,” whose brevity intensifies the scene of suffering and fulfillment. In translation, the participial construction is rendered with an explicit finite verb (“knowing that”) tied to the subject for clarity in English, and the hina clause is conveyed with “in order that” or “so that” to bring out the purposive nuance. The perfect aspect of tetelestai is expressed as “were already accomplished” and “had been finished,” while the aorist subjunctive teleiōthē is reflected in “might be fulfilled,” preserving both the sense of completed action and intentional fulfillment of Scripture.
