Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tou staurou {ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ | a-pò toû stau-roû} ‘from the cross’ specifies the spatial origin of descent and highlights the instrument of execution. Both reconstructions preserve the stark, taunting rhythm of the Greek, with the formal version reflecting the dual imperative structure and the dynamic version emphasizing immediacy and force.
