Exegesis

The narrative begins with kai {Καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, linking to the preceding account.

The verb paralambanei {παραλαμβάνει | pa-ra-lam-BÁ-nei} ‘he takes along’ assigns agency to ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs}, marking the initiation of movement with a coordinated series of objects: ton Petron {τὸν Πέτρον | tón PÉ-tron}, kai Iakobon {καὶ Ἰάκωβον | kaí IÁ-kō-bon}, kai Ioannen {καὶ Ἰωάννην | kaí Iō-ÁN-nēn}, apposed to ton adelphon autou {τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ | tón a-del-PHÓN au-TOÛ}, specifying familial relation.

The subsequent verb anapherei {ἀναφέρει | a-na-PHÉ-rei} ‘he brings up’, linked by kai {καὶ | kaí}, shifts focus to ascent, with autous {αὐτοὺς | au-TOÚS} as the collective object.
