“Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.”
You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you — the disciples have undergone the pruning process through Jesus' teaching; his words have separated them from worldly entanglement and oriented them toward the kingdom. Katharoi (cleansed) suggests both cleansing and consecration; through the word, the disciples have been sanctified and made ready to abide in Jesus.
