Exegesis
The accusative article tous {τοὺς | toús} together with the present participle polountas {πωλοῦντας | pōloûntas} ‘those selling’ creates a substantive participial phrase functioning as the direct object of ekballein, identifying the merchants who are expelled. The Greek word order progresses from entrance, to the beginning of the action, to the specific group driven out; the English renderings mirror this progression through temporal framing (“having entered” / “when He came”) and a forceful verb choice for ekballein (“drive out”).
In context — Luke 19:45
And having entered the temple, He began to drive out the sellers .
