Exegesis

The verse begins with the imperfect passive verb egonto {Ἤγοντο | ḗ-gon-to} “they were being led,” fronted for emphasis and followed by the postpositive particle de {δὲ | dé}, which links this scene to the preceding narrative while slightly shifting focus.

In contextLuke 23:32

Now also others, two criminals, were being led with Him to be put to death.
