Exegesis
This crowd is further qualified by the prepositional phrase meta machairon kai xylon {μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων | metà machairôn kai xýlon}, which uses a genitive of accompaniment to portray them as armed with swords and clubs, signaling hostile intent.
In context — Mark 14:43
And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
