Exegesis
The sentence opens with the temporal clause hotan {ὅταν | hó-tan} ‘whenever,’ which frames the statement as an open-ended future contingency and expects the subjunctive akousete {ἀκούσητε | a-koú-sē-te} ‘you hear.’
In context — Luke 21:9
But whenever you hear of wars and unrest , do not be terrified, for these things must happen first, but the end will not be immediate.
