Exegesis
The object is expressed through the partitive genitive construction duo tōn mathētōn autou {δύο τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ | DÚ-o tôn ma-thē-TÔn au-TÔu}, indicating that two are selected from among a larger group of disciples. In translation, the temporal clause is rendered as a past narrative (“when they drew near / approached”) while preserving the sequential movement through prepositional phrases. The historical present verbs are generally shifted to past tense for natural English narrative flow, while their vividness is conveyed through precise verbs (“drew near,” “sent out”) and the retention of detailed geographic markers.
In context — Mark 11:1
