Exegesis
The dative participial phrase tois synanabasin autō {τοῖς συναναβᾶσιν αὐτῷ | toîs synanabâsin autō̂} “to those who went up together with Him” functions substantivally, identifying the group who witnessed Him; they are further localized by the prepositional sequence apo tēs Galilaias eis Ierousalēm {ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ | apò tês Galilaías eis Ierousalḗm}, tracing their movement from Galilee to Jerusalem, likely in a pilgrimage context.
