| 32. Linguistic Exegesis The narrative connector kai eipen {καὶ εἶπεν | kaí eî-pen} introduces Jesus’ command; the participle poreuthentes {Πορευθέντες | po-reu-thén-tes} with the imperative eipate {εἴπατε | eí-pa-te} functions as an attendant circumstance (“Go and tell”). The dative indirect object phrase tē alōpeki tautē {τῇ ἀλώπεκι ταύτῃ | tē̂ a-lō-pé-ki taút-tē} specifies “that fox.” The interjection idou {Ἰδοὺ | i-doú} signals attention to the sequence of ministry actions: ekballō daimonia {ἐκβάλλω δαιμόνια | ek-bál-lō dai-mó-ni-a} describes present-tense exorcism, while iaseis apotelō {ἰάσεις ἀποτελῶ | i-á-seis a-po-tel-ṓ} shifts to the future-oriented accomplishment of healings. The temporal adverbs sēmeron kai aurion {σήμερον καὶ αὔριον | sḗ-me-ron kaí aú-ri-on} define a two-day period, and the final temporal dative clause tē tritē teleioumai {τῇ τρίτῃ τελειοῦμαι | trí-tē te-lei-oû-mai} uses a dative time marker with a futuristic present to assert assured completion on the third day despite opposition. |
