Exegesis
The clause begins with the verb paradothesetai {παραδοθήσεται | paradothḗsetai} ‘he will be delivered over,’ followed immediately by the postpositive particle gar {γὰρ | gàr} ‘for,’ which links this prediction causally to the preceding statement.
In context — Luke 18:32
For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spat upon.
