Exegesis
Within their question, Θέλεις οὖν {Θέλεις οὖν | Thé-leis oun} puts the master’s will in the foreground, while the participle ἀπελθόντες {ἀπελθόντες | a-pel-THÓN-tes} functions temporally (“when we go”) or manner-wise, linked to the main subjunctive verb συλλέξωμεν {συλλέξωμεν | syl-LÉ-ksō-men} “should we gather,” which expresses a respectful proposal or request for permission. In translation, the appositional “enemy—a man” construction is preserved to retain the Greek emphasis on a personal hostile agent, and the participle-plus-subjunctive sequence is rendered as “go and gather/pull them up,” maintaining the sense of a suggested course of action.
In context — Matthew 13:28
But he said to them, “An enemy —a man—did this.” Then the servants said to him, “Do you want us, therefore, to go and gather them?”
