Clay:
I see that Wallace in " Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics" uses this verse to 
illustrate what he calls the " ingressive-progressive" present imperative
 >>> The force here is begin and continue. It is different from the pure 
ingressive aorist in that it stresses both the inception and progress of an 
action commanded while the pure ingressive aorist imperative stresses only 
the inception, making no comment about the progress of the action.
Matt 8:22
Here Jesus urges a would-be disciple to begin and continue following him.<<<<<
All the emphasis in this verse, I would see, is on " follow ", and hence 
reinforcing Daniel when he says:
 >>> it would be better to see the entire infinitive phrase as a complement
to AFES, rather than trying to locate a specific object for the verb <<
