Exegesis
The verse begins with lego {λέγω | légō} followed by the postpositive gar {γὰρ | gár}, indicating “for I say” as an introduction to the subsequent content clause marked by hoti {ὅτι | hóti} “that.”
The second clause, introduced by kai gar {καὶ γὰρ | kaí gár}, uses the nominalized peri emou {περὶ ἐμοῦ | perí em-oû} “concerning Me” as subject with telos {τέλος | té-los} “end, completion” as predicate in echei {ἔχει | é-khei}, expressing that the matters about Jesus reach their destined culmination rather than mere cessation.
In context — Luke 22:37
For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me : “And He was counted with the lawless.” For indeed, what concerns Me has its fulfillment .
