Exegesis
The dative autō {αὐτῷ | au-tō} identifies Jesus as the one targeted by the abuse, and kai hoi stratiōtai {καὶ οἱ στρατιῶται | kai hoi stra-ti-ō-tai} adds the soldiers as the subject in an additive, narrative way.
The two present participles, proserchomenoi {προσερχόμενοι | pro-ser-kho-me-noi} and prospherontes {προσφέροντες | pros-phé-ron-tes}, are attendant to the main verb and describe simultaneous action: the soldiers are approaching while bringing oxos {ὄξος | ox-os}.
Root and etymology
erchomaiepsilon rho chi omicron mu alpha iota

In context — Luke 23:36
