Exegesis
The aorist middle participle arxamenoi {ἀρξάμενοι | ar-xá-me-noi} with apo tōn presbyterōn {ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων | apò tōn pres-bu-té-rōn} adds a sequential nuance, “beginning from the elders,” marking an ordered withdrawal that starts with those of higher status.
In context — John 8:9
But when they had heard, and being convicted by the conscience , they began to go out one by one, starting from the elders, and Jesus was left alone, and the woman was standing in the midst.
