Exegesis
The prohibitive me {μὴ | mē} governs the aorist subjunctive apelthete {ἀπέλθητε | a-pél-thē-te}, and mede {μηδὲ | mē-dé} coordinates the second aorist subjunctive dioxete {διώξητε | di-ṓ-xē-te}, producing a double prohibition that underscores the disciples’ decisive refusal to pursue false Messianic appearances. The translation retains direct speech with quotation marks and parallels the Greek structure by keeping the prohibitions in balanced form.
In context — Luke 17:23
And they will say to you, “Behold, there; behold, here.” Do not go out , nor pursue them .
