Exegesis
The dative phrase hymin legō {ὑμῖν λέγω | hymîn légō} ‘to you I say’ places emphasis on the immediate audience through dative pronoun fronting, highlighting the disciples as primary hearers.
This is then mirrored by pasin legō {πᾶσιν λέγω | pâsin légō} ‘to all I say’, with pasin functioning substantivally to broaden the scope from the specific group to all people, creating a balanced parallelism: “to you I say / to all I say.”
The repetition of legō {λέγω | légō} intensifies the solemnity and underscores the authority of the speaker.
