Exegesis
The main verbal action follows in coordination: kai ekraxen legon {καὶ ἔκραξεν λέγων | kaí ékraksen légōn} “and He cried out, saying,” where ekraxen is a strong aorist verb of loud public crying, and the present participle legon functions circumstantially to introduce direct speech.
The apodosis is formed by two coordinated imperatives, erchesthō pros me kai pinetō {ἐρχέσθω πρός με καὶ πινέτω | erchésthō prós me kaí pinétō} “let him come to Me and let him drink,” both present imperatives emphasizing continued or repeated action, with pros me marking directional movement toward Jesus as the source of the needed drink. The English renderings preserve the temporal framing and the climactic emphasis of the setting, reflect the force of ekraxen with “cried out” and “shouted,” and maintain the conditional–imperative structure as a universal invitation tied closely to Jesus’ public stance and call.
