Exegesis
The aorist participle katabas {καταβὰς | ka-ta-bás} ‘having come down’ in the nominative masculine singular functions as a circumstantial participle of means, indicating the method of self-preservation, and is linked syntactically to the same implied subject. The coordinating conjunction kai is understood between the participle and the final imperative, giving rise to the second command come down.
In context — Mark 15:30
Save yourself , and come down from the cross .
