Exegesis
The closing deuro {δεῦρο | deû-ro} ‘come here’ combined with the present imperative akolouthei {ἀκολούθει | a-ko-loú-thei} ‘keep following’ plus moi {μοι | moi} ‘me’ forms a climactic call to ongoing discipleship, with the present tense highlighting continuous relationship rather than a single act.
In context — Luke 18:22
When Jesus heard this, He said to him, “One thing you still lack: Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor , and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow Me.”
