Exegesis
The main verb diegeireto {διεγείρετο | diegeíreto} is imperfect middle or passive, portraying ongoing or repeated agitation of the sea: “was being stirred up.” The formal rendering preserves the explicit causal link with “because” and retains the passive sense of diegeireto. The dynamic rendering shifts the focus slightly to the observable effect (“grew rough”), while maintaining the continual action of the wind with “kept blowing” to reflect the durative force of the participle and imperfect verb.
In context — John 6:18
And the sea was being stirred up because a great wind was blowing.
