Exegesis
katakyrieuousin {κατακυριεύουσιν | ka-ta-ku-rieú-ou-sin} and hoi megaloi autōn {οἱ μεγάλοι αὐτῶν | hoi me-gá-loi au-tṓn} …
Repeated autōn {αὐτῶν | au-tṓn} in genitive positions underlines that the same peoples are objects of both types of oppressive leadership. The parallel structure sets up an implicit contrast with the servant-model of leadership that follows in the surrounding context, which the translations anticipate by preserving the strong lexical force of the rule verbs while keeping the syntax clear and closely aligned with the Greek.
In context — Mark 10:42
And Jesus , having called them to Himself, says to them, "You know that those who are considered to rule over the nations exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them."
