Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase metʼ autēs {μετʼ αὐτῆς | metʼ autês} expresses association “with her.” The aorists elthan and eipen are rendered as simple past (“came,” “said”), while the imperfects ethaumazon and elalei are rendered as “were amazed” and “was speaking” to maintain their durative sense. The formal reconstruction adheres closely to Greek structure, while the dynamic shifts “Right then” and “were surprised” for idiomatic clarity, preserving the parallel interrogatives and the disciples’ unspoken questions.
In context — John 4:27
And upon this, His disciples came, and they were amazed that He was speaking with a woman ; yet no one said, “What are You seeking?” or, “Why are You speaking with her?”
