Exegesis
The agent ho Satanas {ὁ Σατανᾶς | ho Sa-ta-nâs} ‘the Satan’ is named only after the introductory phrase, heightening the force of the intrusion.
Jesus’ speech begins with legei oun auto ho Iesous {λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς | lé-gei oûn au-tôi ho Iē-soûs} ‘Jesus says therefore to him’, where oun ‘therefore’ connects the command to the preceding event.
In the direct speech, ho poieis {Ὃ ποιεῖς | ho poi-eîs} ‘what you are doing’ frames ongoing intent, and poieson {ποίησον | poí-e-son} ‘do’ with tachion {τάχιον | tá-chi-on} ‘quickly’ issues an urgent directive.

psōmapsi–omega–mu–alpha
