Exegesis
The accusative ton Ioannen {τὸν Ἰωάννην | tòn i-ō-ÁN-nēn} and the appositional ton kaloumenon Markon {τὸν καλούμενον Μᾶρκον | tòn ka-LOU-me-non MÂR-kon} refer to the same person by his Jewish and Greco-Roman names, with the participle kaloumenon functioning as a substantive modifier. English renderings preserve the sense of contrast, the durative aspect of the imperfect, and the dual-name identification.
