Exegesis
The subordinate clause introduced by hina {ἵνα | hína} “so that” governs the aorist subjunctive phagomen {φάγωμεν | phá-gō-men}, expressing the intended purpose of the preparation: “that we may eat.” In translation, the participial sequence “having gone, prepare” is rendered with coordinated imperatives “Go and prepare” to maintain natural English flow while preserving the sequential nuance, and the hina-purpose clause is brought across explicitly as “so that we may eat” or “so we can eat it together.”
In context — Luke 22:8
And He sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare for us the Passover , so that we may eat.”
