Exegesis
Two present participles, peirazontes {πειράζοντες | pei-rá-zon-tes} and legontes {λέγοντες | lé-gon-tes}, are circumstantial, expressing manner: they came while “testing” and “saying.” This participial chaining foregrounds both motive and speech.
In context — Matthew 19:3
And Pharisees came to Him , putting Him to the test , and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?”
