Exegesis
The next coordinated aorist, exelthon {ἐξῆλθον | ex-êl-thon}, advances the storyline as the people move outward from the city, while the prepositional phrase eis hupantesin autō {εἰς ὑπάντησιν αὐτῷ | eis hy-pán-tē-sin au-tôi} expresses purpose or goal, indicating that they went out specifically in order “to meet Him,” with the dative pronoun marking the honored figure at the center of the procession.
In context — John 12:13
They took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him , and they were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord , even the King of Israel.”
