{But watch ye} (agrupneite de). Agrupne(935c) is a late verb
to be sleepless (a privative and hupnos, sleep). Keep awake
and be ready is the pith of Christ's warning. {That ye may
prevail to escape} (hina katischus(8874)e ekphugein). First aorist
active subjunctive with hina of purpose. The verb katischu(935c)
means to have strength against (cf. Mt 16:18 ). Common in later
writers. Ekphugein is second aorist active infinitive, to
escape out. {To stand before the Son of man} (stath(886e)ai
emprosthen tou huiou tou anthr(9370)ou). That is the goal. There
will be no dread of the Son then if one is ready. Stath(886e)ai is
first aorist passive infinitive of hist(886d)i.
