Exegesis
The verse opens with the conditional particle ean {ἐὰν | eàn} governing the aorist subjunctive apolyso {ἀπολύσω | apolýsō} ‘I send away,’ establishing a future-more-vivid condition.
In context — Mark 8:3
If I send them away to their homes without eating, they will faint along the way ; and some of them have come from far away.
