Exegesis
The dative moi {μοι | moi} marks Jesus as the recipient of the action, while the adverb hode {ὧδε | hô-de} “here” precedes the object pronoun autous {αὐτούς | au-toús} “them,” slightly foregrounding the location (“right here, to Me”) before identifying the objects. In English, the more natural order places “them” before “here,” but the translation maintains the sense of immediacy by retaining “here” close to “Me.” The structure as a whole remains a single main clause with quoted direct speech, mirroring the straightforward imperative command in Greek.
In context — Matthew 14:18
But He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
