Exegesis
κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς {κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς | ka-gṑ pémp-ō hy-mâs} then answers that pattern with a coordinated main clause.
The crasis κἀγὼ {κἀγὼ | ka-gṑ} gives special emphasis to Jesus’ own role, and the present πέμπω {πέμπω | pémp-ō} presents the disciples’ commissioning as active and immediate. The verse therefore moves from resurrection speech to peace-giving to mission, preserving a tight Father-Son-disciple chain of sending.
