| 28. Linguistic Exegesis The sentence begins with the adversative conjunction alla {ἀλλὰ | al-là}, signaling contrast with the prediction of failure in the preceding context. The preposition meta {μετὰ | me-tà} governs the articular infinitive phrase to egerthenai me {τὸ ἐγερθῆναί με | tò e-ger-thē-nai me}, where the neuter article functions to substantivize the infinitive, creating a temporal clause, “after I am raised.” The accusative me {με | me} serves as the logical subject of the infinitive, referring to the speaker. The main clause centers on the future indicative proaxo {προάξω | pro-ák-sō} with the explicit first person subject “I” encoded in the verb ending, and hymas {ὑμᾶς | hy-mâs} as its direct object “you (plural).” The prepositional phrase eis ten Galilaian {εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν | eis tèn Ga-li-lai-an} specifies the destination, with eis marking movement toward and the accusative indicating goal. The structure thus forms a temporal main clause sequence: following the completed event of resurrection (aorist passive infinitive), the future action of going ahead into Galilee is promised, highlighting both the certainty of resurrection and the continuing leadership of Jesus over His disciples. |
