Exegesis
The two peri {περὶ | pe-rí} ‘concerning’ phrases are coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’ to create a balanced double focus: first on the matheton autou {μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ | ma-thē-tōn au-toû} ‘of His disciples,’ then on the didaches autou {διδαχῆς αὐτοῦ | di-da-chês au-toû} ‘of His teaching.’ The repetition of peri produces a measured, almost judicial symmetry, showing that the high priest is examining both Jesus’ community and the content of His instruction.
The repeated autou {αὐτοῦ | au-toû} ‘of Him’ binds both objects of inquiry directly to Jesus, making the relationship personal and comprehensive. In the target language, the structure is preserved by retaining the opening connector, the central questioning verb, and the paired prepositional phrases so the verse still feels like a formal interrogation with two distinct but related lines of inquiry.
