Exegesis
The object of their seeing is structured as a relative clause ho epoiēsen sēmeion {ὃ ἐποίησεν σημεῖον | ho e-poí-e-sen sē-mei-on} “the sign that he did,” where the relative pronoun ho precedes the verb for emphasis, highlighting what He did as the cause of their reaction. The imperfect elegon portrays their statement as repeated or ongoing, not a single remark.
