Exegesis
The conjunction hote {ὅτε | hóte} introduces a temporal subordinate clause, hote to pascha ethyon {ὅτε τὸ πάσχα ἔθυον | hóte tó páscha éthyon}, in which the imperfect ethyon conveys repeated or customary action in past time, capturing the ongoing sacrificial practice, while to pascha functions as the object of the sacrificing.
In context — Mark 14:12
And on the first day of Unleavened Bread , when they were sacrificing the Passover, His disciples said to Him , “Where do You desire that, after we go, we should prepare so that You may eat the Passover?”
