Exegesis
The aorist indicative eperotesan {ἐπηρώτησαν | e-pē-rṓ-tē-san} provides the main verbal action, “they questioned,” with auton {αὐτὸν | au-tòn} as the direct object, syntactically centering Jesus as the one being interrogated and highlighting a confrontational question-and-answer setting within the larger temple controversy narrative.
In context — Luke 20:27
But some of the Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection , approached and questioned Him .
