This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If I go (ean poreuthō). Third-class condition (ean and first aorist passive subjunctive of poreuomai).
And prepare (kai hetoimasō). Same condition and first aorist active subjunctive of the same verb hetoimazō.
I come again (palin erchomai). Futuristic present middle, definite promise of the second coming of Christ.
And will receive you unto myself (kai paralēmpsomai humas pros emauton). Future middle of paralambanō. Literally, “And I shall take you along (para-) to my own home” (cf. Joh 13:36). This blessed promise is fulfilled in death for all believers who die before the Second Coming. Jesus comes for us then also.
That where I am there ye may be also (hina hopou eimi egō kai humeis ēte). Purpose clause with hina and present active subjunctive of eimi. This the purpose of the departure and the return of Christ. And this is heaven for the believer to be where Jesus is and with him forever.
