Exegesis
The verse begins with a genitive absolute construction, kai anakeimenōn autōn kai esthiontōn {καὶ ἀνακειμένων αὐτῶν καὶ ἐσθιόντων | kaí anakeiménōn autôn kaí esthióntōn} ‘and as they were reclining and eating’, which sets a temporal and situational frame independent of the main clause and evokes the formal meal setting of the Passover.
In context — Mark 14:18
And as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray Me, one who is eating with Me.”
