Exegesis
The clause introduced by kai egeneto {καὶ ἐγένετο | kaí egéneto} uses the impersonal verb egeneto {ἐγένετο | egéneto} ‘it happened’ as a narrative device to introduce a temporal construction: en tō hupagein autous {ἐν τῷ ὑπάγειν αὐτοὺς | en tô hupágein autoús} ‘as they were going’.
Here, the preposition en with the articular infinitive hupagein {ὑπάγειν | hupágein} and the accusative subject autous {αὐτούς | autoús} expresses contemporaneous action.
In context — Luke 17:14
And when He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests .” And it happened that as they were going, they were cleansed.
