Exegesis
The main clause centers on ekeleusen {ἐκέλευσεν | e-ké-leu-sen} ‘he commanded’, with the accusative pronoun auton {αὐτὸν | au-tòn} functioning as the object of the command and the aorist passive infinitive achthenai {ἀχθῆναι | akh-thê-nai} ‘to be brought’ expressing what is to be done, while the prepositional phrase pros auton {πρὸς αὐτόν | pròs au-tón} indicates movement toward Jesus as the goal.
The narrative then moves to the finite verb eperotesen {ἐπηρώτησεν | e-pē-rṓ-tē-sen} ‘he asked’, with auton {αὐτόν | au-tón} again as the object, transitioning the scene from movement into dialogue and setting up the question that follows in the next verse.
In context — Luke 18:40
But Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. When he came near, He asked him.
