Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros tous mathetas {πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς | prós toús mathētás} indicates movement toward the disciples.
The final pros autous {πρὸς αὐτούς | prós autoús} specifies that the discussion was directed at the disciples. English renders the participle’s temporal nuance with “when” and conveys the durative aspect of the present participle syzetountas by using progressive phrasing such as “arguing” or “debating.”
