Exegesis

The sequence of aorist participles (poreutheis {πορευθεὶς | poreuthéis}, anabanta {ἀναβάντα | anabánta}, anoixas {ἀνοίξας | anoíxas}, labōn {λαβὼν | labṓn}) frames the chain of actions leading to the imperatives bale {βάλε | bále}, arōn {ἆρον | âron}, and dos {δὸς | dós}. Each participle gives temporal or circumstantial context for the next action. The imperatives are cohesive instructions: cast a hook, take the fish, and give the coin.
