Exegesis
The main clause centers on the aorist verb ēkolouthēsen {ἠκολούθησεν | ēkolóuthēsen} “followed,” with the dative pronoun autō {αὐτῷ | autō̂} indicating the one being followed; in context this pronoun refers to Jesus, whose identity has been established in the surrounding passage.
In context — Matthew 20:29
And as they were going out from Jericho , a great crowd followed Him .
