Exegesis
The indirect object autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} ‘to them’ anchors the previous saying to the disciples, while the final clause hetoimasan to pascha {ἡτοίμασαν τὸ πάσχα | hētoímasan tò páscha} presents the outcome of their obedience: they complete the preparation of the Passover. In translation, the sequential aorists are rendered as simple past verbs to preserve the swift narrative flow, and the kathos clause is expressed with “just as” or “exactly as” to convey precise correspondence between prediction and fulfillment.
