Exegesis
This is followed by the purpose clause hina mēden airosin eis hodon {ἵνα μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν | hí-na mē-dèn aí-rō-sin eîs ho-dòn} “so that they might take nothing for the journey,” with the present subjunctive airosin emphasizing the ongoing nature of traveling without provisions.
In context — Mark 6:8
And He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except only a staff —no bread, no bag, no money in their belts.
