KAI LE-gei au-TOIS ho ee-ay-SOOS HO-ti PAN-tes skan-da-li-STHÊ-se-ste HO-ti GE-gra-ptai pa-TAK-sō ton poi-ME-na KAI ta PRO-ba-ta di-a-skor-pi-STHÊ-son-tai
Exegesis
The quotation itself contains Pataxo ton poimena {Πατάξω τὸν ποιμένα | Patáxō ton poiména}, with a first person future active verb indicating divine action against ‘the shepherd’, followed by kai ta probata diaskorpisthesontai {καὶ τὰ πρόβατα διασκορπισθήσονται | kaí tá próbata diaskorpisthḗsontai}, a coordinated clause describing the inevitable scattering of ‘the sheep’. The shepherd–sheep metaphor aligns with leader–followers imagery, implicitly connecting Jesus and His disciples to the prophetic text. In translation, the two hoti clauses are rendered as “that” and “because” to distinguish content from cause, while preserving the passive nuance of skandalisthesesthe in “will be caused to stumble” (formal) and reflecting idiomatic English in “will fall away” (dynamic), both tied to the same underlying Greek structure.
