Exegesis
The verse begins with the genitive absolute systrefomenon de auton {Συστρεφομένων δὲ αὐτῶν | systrefoménōn dè autôn} ‘gathering together’, which frames the temporal setting before the main statement.
The locative phrase en tē Galilaíāi {ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ | en tē Galilaíāi} situates the action in Galilee.
In context — Matthew 17:22
As they gathered in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men."
