Exegesis
The imperative governs the reflexive object heautous {ἑαυτοὺς | heautoùs} ‘yourselves’ and the dative phrase tois hiereusin {τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν | toîs hiereûsin} ‘to the priests’, which reflects the legal requirement for priestly inspection.
In context — Luke 17:14
And when He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests .” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
