Greetings B-Greeks,

PRO DE THS hEORTHS TOU PASCA EIDWS hO IHSOUS hOTI HLQEN AUTOU hH hWRA
[...] EIS TELOS HGAPHSEN AUTOUS

(John 13:1)

The text above is often translated something like: "Now (it was) before
the feast of passover; Jesus knowing his hour had come ... loved them
unto the end"  

Would the first part of this verse better be translated: "Jesus, knowing
already before the feast of the passover that his hour had come ...
loved them unto the end"?

Or would such a translation require/prefer hO IHSOUS to be placed
differently in the Greek text:

hO IHSOUS PRO DE THS hEORTHS TOU PASCA EIDWS hOTI HLQEN AUTOU hH hWRA
[...] EIS TELOS HGAPHSEN AUTOUS

Thanks,

David
