Exegesis
The coordinated imperatives poieson kai hode en te patridi sou {ποίησον καὶ ὧδε ἐν τῇ πατρίδι σου | pói-ē-son kaì hô-de en tḗ pa-trí-di sou} press Jesus to replicate those deeds “here in Your hometown,” highlighting the challenge of local unbelief. The structure moves from predictive statement to quoted proverb to elaboration and imperative, underlining the mounting demand for Jesus to prove His authority where He is best known.
