Exegesis
Coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí}, the aorist apesteilan {ἀπέστειλαν | a-pé-stei-lan} introduces a decisive action, taking presbeian {πρεσβείαν | pres-be-í-an} ‘delegation’ as its direct object, indicating an officially appointed group.
In context — Luke 19:14
But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, "We do not want this man to reign over us."
