Exegesis
Finally, the imperative legete {λέγετε | légete} ‘speak’ forms the apodosis, a direct command inviting immediate participation. In translation, the long Greek sentence is segmented into smoother English clauses, while preserving the temporal sequence, the conditional structure, and the formal address, so that the invitation to speak remains both courteous and authoritative.
In context — Acts 13:15
And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there is among you a word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
