‏ John 16:32

 Cometh ( ερχετα ). Futuristic present middle indicative of  ερχομα.

 Yea, is come ( κα εληλυθεν ). Explanatory use of  κα and the perfect active indicative as in 12:23. The long-looked-for hour ( ωρα ) is so close that it has virtually begun. The time for the arrest of Jesus is near. See also 17:1.

 That ( ινα ). See verse 2 for this same use of  ινα (not  οτε ) with  ερχομα ωρα.

 Ye shall be scattered ( σκορπισθητε ). First aorist passive subjunctive of  σκορπιζω, used in 10:12 of sheep scampering from the wolf. Cf. Mt 12:30; Lu 11:33.

 To his own ( εις τα ιδια ). "To his own home" as in 1:11; 19:27. So Appian VI. 23.

 Shall leave ( αφητε ). Second aorist subjunctive of  αφιημ with  ινα.

 And yet ( κα ). Clear case of  κα in adversative sense, not just "and."
