Exegesis

The apodosis is expressed through a coordinated series of imperatives: hupage {ὕπαγε | hý-pa-ge} ‘go’, polēson {πώλησόν | pô-lē-son} ‘sell’, and dos {δὸς | dòs} ‘give’, all second person singular, addressing the individual directly.

In contextMatthew 19:21

Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be perfect , go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
