Exegesis
The sentence opens with kai {Καί | kaí} ‘and,’ linking this action to the prior narrative.
The second clause, ēkolouthēsan de autō kai hoi mathētai {ἠκολούθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταί | ēkoloúthēsan dè autō̂ kaì hoi mathētai} ‘and the disciples followed Him,’ shifts attention to the response of the followers: de {δέ | dé} marks the turn, autō {αὐτῷ | autō̂} keeps Jesus as the referent, and the final kai {καί | kaí} introduces hoi mathētai {οἱ μαθηταί | hoi mathētai} as the explicit subject after the verb. The verse therefore moves in a calm, sequential rhythm, highlighting both Jesus’ settled pattern and the disciples’ accompaniment.
In context — Luke 22:39
And after going out, He went in keeping with His practice to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.
