Exegesis
The comparative conjunction kathōs {καθὼς | kathōs} “just as” introduces the subordinate clause, where the aorist indicative synetaxen {συνέταξεν | sunetáxen} “commanded” takes the dative personal pronoun autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} “to them” before the emphatically placed nominative subject ho Iēsous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iēsoûs}, highlighting Jesus’ authority. English rendering shifts to a subject-verb-object order and renders the sequential actions with finite verbs to preserve both the narrative flow and the sense of obedient response.
In context — Matthew 21:6
So the disciples went and carried out what Jesus had instructed them.
