Exegesis
The present indicative parerchetai {παρέρχεται | pa-RÉR-khe-tai} portrays an action currently in progress, heightening the immediacy that Jesus is at that very moment passing by. In English, subject–verb–object word order is maintained, with the hoti clause rendered by “that” and the present parerchetai expressed as “is passing by” in formal and “is coming this way” in dynamic, capturing the sense of Jesus’ movement through the man’s vicinity.
