Exegesis
The compound subject consists of hoi archiereis {οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς | hoi archiereîs} ‘the chief priests’ and hoi prōtoi tōn Ioudaiōn {οἱ πρῶτοι τῶν Ἰουδαίων | hoi prōtoi tōn Ioudaiṓn} ‘the leading men of the Jews,’ joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}, showing a unified front of religious and social leadership.
The second kai {καὶ | kaí} coordinates the aorist enephanisan with the imperfect parekaloun {παρεκάλουν | parekáloun} ‘they kept urging,’ whose imperfect aspect portrays ongoing, insistent appeals.
