Exegesis
The apodosis uses the imperfect elegete {ἐλέγετε | e-lé-ge-te} with the potential particle an {ἄν | án} to express a hypothetical, repeated or characteristic action: ‘you would say’ to tē sykaminō tautē {τῇ συκαμίνῳ ταύτῃ | tê sy-ka-mín-ō taú-tē} ‘this sycamine tree.’
The two aorist passive imperatives ekrizōthēti {Ἐκριζώθητι | ek-ri-zṓ-thē-ti} ‘be uprooted’ and phyteuthēti {φυτεύθητι | phy-teú-thē-ti} ‘be planted’ form a vivid command sequence, with the prepositional phrase en tē thalassē {ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ | en tê tha-lás-sē} ‘in the sea’ providing an impossible location that underlines the miraculous scope.
