truly truly ˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you

λέγω ὑμῖν

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

See the discussion of an hour is coming in the General Notes to Chapter 4 and see how you translated this phrasef in 4:21.
