Exegesis
A further directional nuance appears with pros {πρὸς | pròs} governing the accusative oros {ὄρος | óros} “mount,” specified by the articular participle to kaloumenon {τὸ καλούμενον | tò kaloúmenon} “the one being called,” which agrees with oros and takes Elaion {Ἐλαιῶν | Elaiṓn} “Olives” in the genitive as the name of the mount (“the mount that is called ‘of Olives’”).
In context — Luke 19:29
And it happened, as He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany toward the mount called the Mount of Olives , that He sent two of the disciples.
