Exegesis
The dative αὐτοῖς {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs} marks the recipients of the speech, while ὁ Ἰησοῦς {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} is the explicit subject placed after the verb in typical Johannine style.
The comparison clause καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ πατήρ {καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ πατήρ | ka-thṓs a-pé-stal-ken me ho pa-tḗr} establishes Jesus’ commission by analogy with the Father’s prior sending; the perfect verb emphasizes an action already completed whose effects remain in force.
