Exegesis
The hortatory subjunctive hetoimasōmen {ἑτοιμάσωμεν | hetoimásōmen} expresses the disciples’ proposed action, while the hina-clause hina phagēs to pascha {ἵνα φάγῃς τὸ πάσχα | hína phágēs tó páscha} gives the purpose: that He might eat the Passover. In translation, the temporal and purpose relationships are preserved by rendering the participle with “after we go” and hina with “so that,” while the historical present legousin is conveyed as a simple past in English but retains its narrative immediacy through vivid wording.
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?”
