Exegesis
The closing sequence kai lysantes auton agagete {καὶ λύσαντες αὐτὸν ἀγάγετε | kaí lýsantes autón agágete} employs an aorist participle followed by an aorist imperative, a common participle-plus-imperative construction where the participle (‘having untied him’) denotes the action that must be completed prior to the main command (‘bring’). In English this is rendered as two coordinated imperatives (“untie it and bring it”) to preserve the sequence and urgency while ensuring natural syntax.
In context — Luke 19:30
He said, “Go into the village opposite you; as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.”
