Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis to oros tōn Elaiōn {εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν | eis tò ó-ros tōn E-lai-ôn} contains the preposition eis governing the accusative to oros, specifying motion “to the mountain.” The genitive phrase tōn Elaiōn, with article plus plural noun, construes as a descriptive genitive “of Olives,” identifying a well-known geographic site. Syntactically, the verse is a single independent clause with straightforward word order: subject–conjunction–verb–prepositional phrase. In translation, the conjunction is placed first (“But Jesus”) to reflect natural English usage, and the established toponym “Mount of Olives” is retained to match the recognized geographical designation.
