Exegesis
The aorist verb prosēlthon {προσῆλθον | prosêlthon} functions as the main finite verb, with the subject Saddoukaioi {Σαδδουκαῖοι | Saddoukaîoi} placed after the indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | autô}, creating a mild focus on the one to whom they come (Jesus) before identifying the group.
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this with a second aorist verb epērōtēsan {ἐπηρώτησαν | epērṓtēsan}, so the sequence is: they came, they were saying, and they questioned, moving from arrival to theological challenge.
In context — Matthew 22:23
On that day Sadducees came to Him , saying that there is no resurrection, and they questioned Him.
