Exegesis
The prepositional phrase meta ton dodeka {μετὰ τῶν δώδεκα | metà tôn dṓdeka} uses meta with the genitive to express accompaniment, “with the twelve.”
The article ton {τῶν | tôn} signals a specific, well-known group, the inner circle of disciples, so “the twelve” can stand as a recognized title. In translation, the temporal genitive absolute is converted into a finite temporal clause in English, and the implicit subject is made explicit in the dynamic rendering for clarity, while the formal reconstruction preserves the pronoun “He” to stay close to the Greek cohesion with its broader context.
Root and etymology
mathētēsmu–alpha–theta–eta–tau–eta–sigma
