Exegesis
The pronoun hymas {ὑμᾶς | hymās} is the direct object of heurē, while katheudontas {καθεύδοντας | katheúdontas} is a present participle in the accusative masculine plural, functioning as a predicate participle modifying “you,” giving the circumstance in which you might be found, “as sleeping.” The Greek word order places the negative particle first, followed by the participial phrase and then the subjunctive verb, foregrounding the warning. In English, this structure is preserved in the formal rendering with “Lest, having come suddenly,” while the dynamic rendering uses “Otherwise” and “may come without warning” to communicate the same precautionary force in more idiomatic form.
In context — Mark 13:36
Lest, having come suddenly, He should find you sleeping .
