Exegesis
The sequence of imperatives—hupage {ὕπαγε | húp-a-ge} ‘go’, poleison {πώλησον | pō-lē-son} ‘sell’, dos {δὸς | dòs} ‘give’, and akolouthei {ἀκολούθει | a-ko-loú-thei} ‘follow’—creates a stepwise progression of actions that define radical discipleship.
In context — Mark 10:21
But Jesus , having looked intently at him, loved him, and He said to him, “One thing you lack: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
