That's a loaded question because the label "Jesus" is a loaded label. The answer depends on your meaning of the term Jesus when you ask the question. John 1: For precision, let's label this entity Word-Jesus. Now, by definition, Word-Jesus is eternal because Word-Jesus was God. Paul put it...

New International Version, Ephesians 5: English Standard Version: In English, the word "greedy" and "covetous" carry different nuances, Merriam-Webster: In Greek, G4123 carries both of these nuances, Thayer's Greek Lexicon: one eager to have more, especially what belongs to others...

English Standard Version, 2 Samuel 13: In LXX, H160 was translated as G26 αγάπην and H157 as G25 ηγάπησεν. Elsewhere in Genesis 25: In LXX, the two Hebrew words were translated to G25 agape. G25 occurs 217 times in LXX. Wiki: See also Jesus and Paul's usages of agape-love

Luke 17: The Pharisees understood the kingdom of God only as a kingdom in the future. Jesus tried to correct their understanding of the concept of the kingdom of God. There is a present aspect and there is a future aspect. In the present aspect, the kingdom of God starts in people's...

This is standard scholarly practice. I prefer to debate people who are precise and scholarly.

Now, the above makes no sense since there is no stand-alone conjugation to make the verb ἔσται future perfect. Can you quote the context from Derrett's paper?

See What is the kingdom of God?

Thanks for the references. To save the effort of your readers, this is how to do referencing in a scholarly manner: Give the source/citation. Provide the URL link to the source if available. Indent the quoted text. Bold the relevant keywords that are important to the point that you are making...

Define future perfect tense in Koine.

Psalm 82: The word "elohim" could refer to spirits or humans. Jesus quoted the above in John 10: If human judges could be called elohim/gods, what about the one and only Son of God? In English, the word "god" refers to divine beings. It does not carry the wide range of meanings of elohim...

I would not put up a big fight about this distinction here in Luke 17:20-21. As a group, we represent the Kingdom of God unified by the Paraclete. In this sense, the Christians indwelled by the Paraclete are in the midst of the world.

There is no future perfect tense in Koine Greek.
