Exegesis
The recipients of this action are marked by the dative article and nouns tois archiereusin kai grammateusin {τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν καὶ γραμματεῦσιν | toîs ar-khi-e-reû-sin kaí gram-ma-teû-sin}, specifying the chief priests and scribes as the institutional authorities.
The Greek conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} is retained to preserve the step-by-step progression from ascent to betrayal to condemnation, while English punctuation organizes the complex clause structure for readability.
