Exegesis
The coordinate ereuxomai {ἐρεύξομαι | e-reú-xo-mai} I will utter takes kekrymmena {κεκρυμμένα | ke-krym-mé-na} things having been hidden, and apo kataboles {ἀπὸ καταβολῆς | a-pó ka-ta-bo-lēs} from the foundation indicates temporal origin. The structure moves from the evangelist’s purpose clause into the embedded oracle, emphasizing the unveiling of long-concealed truths.
