Exegesis
The final imperative akolouthēsate {ἀκολουθήσατε | akolouthḗsate} issues a further command once the man is found, preserving a clear sequence of actions. In English, the historical presents are rendered as simple past (“sent,” “said”) to match natural narrative style, while the imperatives and predictive future are retained to convey the precision and certainty of Jesus’ instructions.
In context — Mark 14:13
And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him.”
