| 13. Linguistic Exegesis The adversative conjunction all’ {ἀλλʼ | allá} sets this instruction in contrast with the preceding prohibition. The temporal conjunction hotan {ὅταν | hótan} plus the subjunctive poiēs {ποιῇς | poiēis} frames a recurring condition for arranging a banquet. The imperative kalei {καλεῖ | kaleî} governs an asyndetic list of direct objects—ptochous {πτωχούς | ptōchoús}, anapeirous {ἀναπείρους | anapeírous}, cholous {χωλούς | chōloús}, typhlous {τυφλούς | typhloús}—highlighting social and physical marginalization. English preserves the temporal-subjunctive nuance with “whenever”/“when” and the imperative force with “make”/“host,” while maintaining the cumulative effect of the Greek listing. |
