Exegesis
The main narrative action resumes with apesteilen {ἀπέστειλεν | apésteilen} “he sent,” and the construction duo {δύο | dúo} with the partitive genitive ton matheton {τῶν μαθητῶν | tôn mathētṓn} yields the sense “two of the disciples.” In the formal translation, the entire egeneto + hos clause is preserved with “And it happened, as...” to retain the narrative texture and temporal subordination, whereas the dynamic rendering begins directly with the temporal clause for smoother contemporary style. Prepositional phrases have been ordered in English to move naturally from the approach (“near/approached Bethphage and Bethany”) to the specific landmark (“toward/near the mount...”), mirroring the Greek progression from general area to prominent geographical feature.
