Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis Hierosolyma {εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα | eis Hi-e-ro-só-ly-ma} expresses goal or destination. Syntactically, Mark employs parallel relative clauses and coordinated verbs to show continuity between their earlier ministry in Galilee and their faithful accompaniment to Jerusalem, which guided the choice of English aspect (“used to follow,” “were serving,” “had come up,” “had traveled with”) to mirror the Greek imperfect and aorist nuances within a narrative past context.
