Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek tōn Pharisaiōn {ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων | ek tôn Pharisaíōn} uses ek with the genitive article and noun to mark origin or affiliation, identifying the Pharisees as the sending group or party. In English, the participle plus verb is naturally rendered as a relative clause (“those who had been sent”), while the prepositional phrase is placed after the verb to preserve normal English word order and maintain the focus on the Pharisees as the source of these emissaries.
Root and etymology
ekepsilon–kappa
“out of, from within”
In context — John 1:24
And those who had been sent were from the Pharisees .
