Exegesis
The verb hupagei {ὑπάγει | hy-pá-gei} ‘goes’ denotes Jesus’ departure to His destined suffering, and is modified by the comparative clause kathos gegraptai peri autou {καθὼς γέγραπται περὶ αὐτοῦ | ka-thṓs gé-grap-tai pe-rí au-toû} ‘just as it has been written about Him’, where gegraptai is a perfect passive that presents the scriptural testimony as a standing, authoritative decree.
In context — Mark 14:21
For the Son of Man indeed goes just as it has been written about Him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed; it would have been good for him if that man had not been born.
