Exegesis
Syntactically, ho paradidous me {ὁ παραδιδούς με | ho pa-ra-di-doús me} forms the subject of engiken {ἤγγικεν | ḗn-gi-ken}: the article ho plus the present active participle paradidous ‘betraying, handing over’ substantivizes the action, yielding “the one who is betraying Me.” The perfect verb engiken ‘has drawn near’ presents the approach of the betrayer as a completed process with a present result. The word order—imperative, hortatory subjunctive, deictic particle, then subject and verb—creates a narrative progression from rousing command to the stark realization of imminent betrayal.
