Exegesis
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.
In context — John 20:21
Then Jesus said to them once more, "Peace to you. In just the way that the Father has sent Me, I send you too."
