Exegesis
The opening periphrastic frame ēn dè kai ho Iōannēs baptizōn {ἦν δὲ καὶ ὁ Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων | ēn dè kaí ho Iōánnēs baptízōn} presents John’s baptizing as ongoing background action, while the connective particles dè kai {δὲ καὶ | dè kaí} tie the verse to the prior narrative and signal continuation.
