Exegesis
The two imperfect indicatives echairon {ἔχαιρον | é-khai-ron} and edoxazon {ἐδόξαζον | e-dók-sa-zon} are coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí} and depict ongoing, simultaneous responses of joy and praise, emphasizing the sustained reaction of the Gentile audience.
A second kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the climactic result: episteusan {ἐπίστευσαν | e-pí-steu-san}, an aorist indicative that summarizes the definitive response of faith.
