Exegesis
Direct speech follows, introduced as the content of the shout: the imperative aire {Αἶρε | Aî-re} ‘Take away’ governs the understood accusative auton {αὐτόν | au-tón} ‘him,’ producing the urgent command. In rendering, the imperfect conveys ongoing pursuit through phrases like “pressed on after him” and “kept following,” while the participle is coordinated as “crying out” and “shouting” to reflect simultaneous activity. The original word order—verb, conjunction, subject, participle, direct speech—is smoothed into standard English while retaining the causal explanation introduced by gar and the mounting hostility of the crowd’s repeated imperative.
In context — Acts 21:36
For the multitude of the people pressed on after him, crying out , “Take him away!”
