Reading the scripture Jesus was still around so was he telling them this before it acually happened I don't see a problem with it if thats the way it was just sounds wierd

Well, once Jesus was born, the Father gave His Son to us.

The Father gave His Son.

The Son gave His life.


This is how this scripture makes sense to me.
