Exegesis
The imperative erchesthe {Ἔρχεσθε | Ér-khe-sthe} issues a summons, followed by the causal clause hoti ḗdē hétoima estin {ὅτι ἤδη ἕτοιμά ἐστιν | hó-ti ḗ-dē hé-toi-má és-tin}, where ēdē highlights immediacy and the resultive state, a nuance mirrored by placing “now” and “ready” at the clause’s end in English.
In context — Luke 14:17
And at the hour of the supper he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, “Come, for all things are now prepared .”
