Exegesis

The sentence begins with the connective kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, linking this action to the preceding testimony of John the Baptist.

The second kai {καὶ | kaí} coordinates a subsequent action, with ekolouthesan {ἠκολούθησαν | ē-ko-loú-thē-san} ‘they followed’ presenting a new, decisive step taken by the same subject.

In contextJohn 1:37

And the two disciples of him heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus .
