Exegesis
The closing clause hoi de ēnenkan {οἱ δὲ ἤνεγκαν | hoi de ḗ-nen-kan} uses the article hoi substantivally as “they,” with de signaling a mild narrative shift, and the aorist ēnenkan summarizing their completed obedience. In translation, the two imperatives are preserved as coordinated commands, and the narrative aorist is rendered with a simple past, maintaining the sequence from instruction to obedient action.
In context — John 2:8
And He says to them, “Draw some out now and carry it to the master of the banquet .” And they brought it.
