Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links the main clause to the prepositional phrase ek tōn mathētōn autou duo {ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ δύο | ek tōn mathētôn autoû dýo}, literally ‘from his disciples two,’ which grammatically specifies that the “two” are a subset drawn out of John’s larger group of disciples. In English, strict representation of ek ‘from’ would sound awkward, so the formal rendering compresses this into “with two of his disciples,” preserving the subset idea, while the dynamic rendering makes the implicit location explicit (“were there with him”) to convey the narrative picture more naturally. Overall, Greek word order emphasizes the temporal frame, then John’s settled stance, and finally identifies the two disciples, subtly drawing attention to them as the focus of what follows.
