Exegesis
The object to ōtarion {τὸ ὠτάριον | to ōtárion} uses a diminutive, perhaps adding vividness or a touch of pathos to the narrative detail. In translation, the participial clauses are rendered as finite or sequential clauses (“having drawn,” “standing close by”) to fit natural English narrative flow while preserving the temporal order and the focus on the violent action against the high priest’s servant.
