Exegesis
The noun phrase hoi grammateis {οἱ γραμματεῖς | hoi grammateîs} ‘the scribes’ is further specified by the participial group hoi apo Hierosolymōn katabantes {οἱ ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων καταβάντες | hoi apó Hierosolýmōn katabántes}, in which the article hoi plus the aorist participle katabantes forms an adjectival modifier, “who had come down from Jerusalem,” indicating both their origin and their official status.
In context — Mark 3:22
And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem kept saying, “He has Beelzeboul, and by the ruler of the demons He is casting out the demons.”
