Exegesis

The verse begins with elegon oun hoi Ioudaioi {ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι | é-le-gon oûn hoí Iou-daî-oi}, where the imperfect elegon functions as a narrative imperfect, portraying the comments of the crowd as ongoing or repeated in response to what has just occurred. The inferential particle oun links their speech logically to Jesus’ prior display of emotion at Lazarus’s tomb, marking this statement as a reaction. The subject phrase hoi Ioudaioi is a specific group within the larger scene, here the Jewish onlookers who are observing Jesus.

Root and etymology
