“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.”
For I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. — Paul announces his imminent martyrdom: spendō (poured out) as libation (spondeion), the time of his analusis (departure) approaching. The cultic metaphor transforms execution into sacred offering.
