Exegesis
The aorist verb proselthon {προσῆλθον | prosêlthon} functions as the main verb of the first clause, with the compound subject ochloi polloi {ὄχλοι πολλοὶ | óchloi polloí} “many crowds” placed after the indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | autō} to foreground the direction “to Him” before specifying who comes.
