Exegesis
The direct object ton Iesoun {τὸν Ἰησοῦν | tón Iē-soûn} appears at the end of the sentence, a position that in Greek can carry emphasis, keeping the narrative focus squarely on Jesus. In English, the causal structure is preserved with “because” and “since/because,” while the final adverb “there” is retained to echo the initial ekei and maintain the sense of location.
