Exegesis
The explicit subject hoi mathetai {οἱ μαθηταί | hoi mathētai} appears only once and then governs the subsequent verbs by ellipsis, a common Greek narrative technique that keeps the focus on the disciples as a unified group.
In context — Mark 14:16
And the disciples went out and came into the city, and they found it just as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover .
