Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en onomati kuriou {ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου | en onómati kuríou} ‘in the name of the Lord’ uses the dative to express agency and authorization, indicating that the Coming One acts under and reveals the authority of the Lord. In translation, the continuous participial structure is rendered with relative-like phrases (“those who were going before,” “those who were following”) and separated from the crowd’s acclamation by quotation marks to clarify the shift from narrative description to shouted praise.
