Exegesis
The direct object of this verb is to ptōma {τὸ πτῶμα | to ptô-ma} ‘the body,’ followed by the coordinated aorist ethapsan {ἔθαψαν | éthapsan} ‘they buried,’ which shifts the object to auton {αὐτόν | auton} ‘him,’ viewing the deceased again as a person.
In context — Matthew 14:12
And his disciples came and took up the body and buried him, and went and reported it to Jesus .
