Rootαὐτός (autos)
Core Meaningsself, same, very, identical, personal identity
Semantic Rangethem, themselves, the same ones, those very ones, the men in question (when masculine), identical persons previously mentioned
Conceptual Significanceαὐτός reinforces identity and distinction in narrative and discourse, often emphasizing that specific persons—those very ones—are involved in the action. In biblical texts, this emphasis can underscore responsibility, continuity of identity, or contrast between groups.
Morphological NotesGr,RP,,,3AMP = personal/reflexive pronoun; 3rd person; accusative case; masculine gender; plural number. Functions as the direct object of a verb and may carry emphatic force.
Rendering RationaleThe form αὐτοὺς is third person accusative masculine plural, functioning as a direct object. Rendering it as "them themselves" preserves both the plural masculine reference and the emphatic/reflexive force inherent in αὐτός, which often intensifies or highlights the identity of the referent.
