Exegesis
The nominative phrase ho Petros {ὁ Πέτρος | ho Pétros} ‘Peter’ explicitly identifies the first actor, followed by the coordinated noun phrase ho allos mathetes {ὁ ἄλλος μαθητής | ho állos mathētḗs} ‘the other disciple,’ joined by kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and,’ which indicates that both share in the subsequent action.
