‏ Luke 19:13

 Trade ye herewith till I come ( πραγματευσασθε εν ω ερχομα ). First aorist middle imperative of  πραγματευομα, an old verb from  πραγμα, business. Here only in the N.T. Westcott and Hort in their text read  πραγματευσασθα, first aorist middle infinitive ( -α and  -ε were pronounced alike). The infinitive makes it indirect discourse, the imperative direct.

 While I am coming is what  εν ω ερχομα really means.
