Exegesis

The prepositional phrase pros auton {πρὸς αὐτὸν | pròs au-tòn} marks Jesus as the addressee of the brothers’ words, while the nominative subject hoi adelphoi autou {οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ | hoí a-del-foí au-toû} ‘His brothers’ foregrounds familial proximity, adding ironic tension given their misunderstanding.

The hina {ἵνα | hína} clause introduces the stated purpose: hina kai hoi mathetai sou theoresousin {ἵνα καὶ οἱ μαθηταί σου θεωρήσουσιν | hína kaí hoí ma-thē-taí sou the-ō-rḗ-sou-sin}, “so that also your disciples will see,” with kai {καὶ | kaí} adding the nuance “also,” implying that others have already witnessed His works.
