Exegesis
The verse is structured around a genitive absolute construction, erōtōntōn de autōn {ἐρωτώντων δὲ αὐτῶν | erōtṓn-tōn de autôn} ‘while they were requesting’, which sets a temporal and circumstantial backdrop to the main action.
The conjunction de {δέ | dé} marks a mild contrast or continuation from the preceding narrative.
