Exegesis
The verse begins with two parallel articular participial phrases, hoi proagontes {οἱ προάγοντες | hoi proágontes} ‘those going ahead’ and hoi akolouthountes {οἱ ἀκολουθοῦντες | hoi akolouthoûntes} ‘those following’, which together frame the crowd around Jesus in motion.
In context — Mark 11:9
And those who were going before and those who were following were crying out, “Hosanna ! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord .”
