Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis to oros tōn elaiōn {εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν | eis tò Ó-ros tôn Elaiôn} specifies destination, with eis plus the accusative indicating movement toward a place.
The genitive phrase tōn elaiōn {τῶν Ἐλαιῶν | tôn Elaiôn} modifies oros {Ὄρος | Ó-ros}, forming the fixed geographical designation “the Mount of Olives.” In translation, the Greek participial construction is rendered as a temporal clause in natural English, and the recognized toponym “Mount of Olives” is preserved to maintain historical and geographical precision.
In context — Mark 14:26
And after they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives .
