Exegesis
A causal clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hóti} ‘because’ explicates why: the negation particle ouk {οὐκ | ouk} combined with the impersonal verb endekhetai {ἐνδέχεται | en-dé-khe-tai} ‘it is possible not’ precedes the aorist infinitive apolesthai {ἀπολέσθαι | a-po-lés-thai} ‘to perish’ and its object prophētēn {προφήτην | pro-phḗ-tēn} ‘a prophet’.

Nevertheless, it is necessary for Me to travel today, tomorrow, and the day following, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.
