Exegesis
The main finite verb estraphē {ἐστράφη | e-strá-phē} then advances the action, and the directional phrase eis ta opisō {εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω | eis ta o-pí-sō} narrows that turn to the space behind her.
The historical present theōrei {θεωρεῖ | the-ō-rei} gives the sight a vivid, immediate quality, while hestōta {ἑστῶτα | hes-tô-ta} presents Jesus as already standing in a settled state at the moment she looks.
