Exegesis
The main narrative clause centers on legousin autō hoi mathētai autou {λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ | légousin autô hoi mathētái autoû}, where legousin is a historical present that lends vividness to the scene. The subject hoi mathētai autoû is delayed after the verb, a common Greek order that allows the dative autō to be placed immediately after the verb, highlighting the addressee, Jesus.
In context — Mark 14:12
And on the first day of Unleavened Bread , when they were sacrificing the Passover, His disciples said to Him , “Where do You desire that, after we go, we should prepare so that You may eat the Passover?”
