Exegesis
The periphrastic future sense arises from Méllei {Μέλλει | Méllei} combined with the passive infinitive paradidósthai {παραδίδοσθαι | paradidósthai}, indicating imminent delivery.
In context — Matthew 17:22
As they gathered in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men."
