Exegesis
The clause introduced by mēpote {μήποτε | mḗ-po-te} plus the future indicative estai {ἔσται | És-tai} forms a feared-result construction, ‘lest there will be’, conveying apprehension about a likely consequence rather than a mere possibility.
In context — Mark 14:2
For they were saying, “Not during the feast , lest there will be an uproar of the people.”
