Exegesis
The temporal conjunction heos {ἕως | hé-ōs} introduces a time clause, heos proseuxomai {ἕως προσεύξωμαι | hé-ōs pro-seú-xō-mai}, “until I may pray,” where the aorist subjunctive proseuxomai expresses the anticipated act of prayer. In translation, the historical presents are rendered with past tense verbs in English narrative (“came,” “said” / “arrived,” “told”) for natural flow, while the temporal relationship of the imperative and the heos-clause is preserved by “until/while I pray.”
In context — Mark 14:32
And they came to a place named Gethsemane , and He said to His disciples, “Sit here until I pray.”
