Exegesis
This is immediately qualified by the comparative conjunction kathos {καθὼς | kathṓs} “just as,” which introduces a clause of exact correspondence, followed by eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} “he said” and the dative autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} “to them,” recalling the prior instructions. The structure highlights a sequence: commissioning, going, and finding precisely in line with Jesus’ prior word, underscoring the reliability of His directives. In translation the initial participle is rendered as a finite verb followed by the main clause to maintain clear narrative progression and natural English flow while preserving the sense of obedient response and fulfilled instruction.
