Exegesis
The accusative phrase ton angelon mou {τὸν ἄγγελόν μου | tón án-ge-lón mou} ‘my messenger’ emphasizes possession and mission, followed by the prepositional idiom pro prosōpou sou {πρὸ προσώπου σου | prò pros-ṓ-pou sou} ‘before your face’, denoting precedence.
In context — Luke 7:27
This is the one about whom it is written: “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.”
