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."
