Exegesis
The coordinated list hoi archiereis, hoi grammateis, kai hoi presbyteroi {οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, οἱ γραμματεῖς, καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι | hoi archiereîs, hoi grammateîs, kaí hoi presbýteroi} identifies the Jewish authorities approaching Him. In translation, the genitive absolute becomes a temporal clause (“while He was walking”), and the verbs “came,” “came back,” and “came up to” preserve the focus on movement in the sacred setting.
