Exegesis
Finally, meta phanon kai lampadon kai hoplōn {μετὰ φανῶν καὶ λαμπάδων καὶ ὅπλων | metà pha-nṓn kai lam-pá-dōn kai hó-plōn} uses meta with three genitive plurals to express accompaniment; the escalating list of lanterns, torches, and weapons intensifies the scene from covert movement to armed confrontation. The rendering preserves the participial sequence and the final accompaniment chain while reshaping the clause order in English for clarity and natural flow.
In context — John 18:3
Then Judas comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons , after taking the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees.
