Exegesis
The aorist imperative katabato {καταβάτω | ka-ta-bá-tō} presents a third person command, “let him come down,” with the adverb nyn {νῦν | nŷn} adding urgent immediacy and the prepositional phrase apo tou staurou {ἀπὸ τοῦ σταυροῦ | a-pó toû stau-roû} marking the source from which the descent is demanded.
In context — Mark 15:32
Let the Christ , the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And those who were crucified with Him were insulting Him.
