Exegesis
The imperfect verbs prosērchonto kai etherapeuonto {προσῆρχοντο καὶ ἐθεραπεύοντο | pro-SÊR-khon-to kaí e-the-ra-PEÚ-on-to} function in coordinated imperfect to convey repeated action: they “kept coming” and “were being healed.” The translation renders the temporal clause as a verbal clause, the articular phrase as “the rest of those on the island,” and preserves imperfect aspect in English.
In context — Acts 28:9
And when this had happened, the rest of those on the island who had illnesses kept coming and were being healed .
