Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase para ton archiereon kai ton grammateon kai ton presbyteron {παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ τῶν γραμματέων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων | parà tôn archieréōn kaí tôn grammatéōn kaí tôn presbutérōn} uses para with the genitive to indicate origin, assigning responsibility for the armed crowd to the three key groups of Jerusalem leadership (chief priests, scribes, elders). In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“while He was still speaking/as Jesus was still talking”), and the prepositional phrase with para is expressed with “from” and a plural subject (“they came from”) to make the source relationship explicit in natural English while preserving the Greek sequence of agents and actions.
