Exegesis
The closing imperfects pareginonto kai ebaptizonto {παρεγίνοντο καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο | paregínonto kai ebaptízonto} portray repeated arrivals followed by repeated baptizing, so the sentence moves from setting, to explanation, to ongoing public response.
In context — John 3:23
John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was an abundance of water there, and people were coming and were being baptized .
