Exegesis
The narrative then resumes with anepesan oun hoi andres {ἀνέπεσαν οὖν οἱ ἄνδρες | a-né-pe-san oun hoi án-dres}, where anepesan is an intransitive aorist summarizing the group’s obedience, and hoi andres marks the counted group as men, probably heads of households.
In context — John 6:10
Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.
