Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {Καὶ | Kaí} ‘and’ as a narrative connector, followed by the genitive absolute construction esthiontōn autōn {ἐσθιόντων αὐτῶν | esthión-tōn autôn} ‘while they were eating’, which sets the temporal backdrop independent of the main clause subject.
The subsequent kai edōken autois {καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς | kaí é-dō-ken autoîs} adds another coordinated main verb, with autois as the indirect object, showing that the broken bread is intentionally distributed to the disciples.
In context — Mark 14:22
And while they were eating, He took bread and, having blessed, He broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take; this is My body .”
