Exegesis
The dative participial phrase anakeimenois autois tois hendeka {ἀνακειμένοις αὐτοῖς τοῖς ἕνδεκα | a-na-kei-mé-nois au-toîs toîs hén-de-ka} functions as an indirect object and sets the scene: “to them, the eleven, as they were reclining,” evoking the customary meal posture.
The causal conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the reason clause, in which the dative phrase tois theasamenois {τοῖς θεασαμένοις | toîs the-a-sa-mé-nois} designates the eyewitnesses, further specified by the object phrase auton egēgermenon {αὐτὸν ἐγηγερμένον | au-tòn e-gē-ger-mé-non}, “Him having been raised.” The perfect participle highlights the completed yet abiding reality of the resurrection.
In context — Mark 16:14
Afterward, He appeared to them, the eleven, as they were reclining , and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him risen.
