Exegesis
The verse begins with a chain of aorist participles—dramōn {δραμὼν | dra-mṓn} ‘having run’, gemisas {γεμίσας | ge-mí-sas} ‘having filled’, and peritheis {περιθεὶς | pe-ri-theìs} ‘having put around’—which present a sequence of prior actions carried out by the same unnamed subject.
The conditional clause with ei {εἰ | ei} plus present indicative erchetai {ἔρχεται | ér-khe-tai} ‘is coming’ frames a speculative scenario about Hēlias {Ἠλίας | Ē-lí-as} “Elijah” appearing.
In context — Mark 15:36
And someone, having run and having filled a sponge with vinegar , and having put it on a reed, was giving Him a drink, saying, “Leave Him alone; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
