Exegesis
The verse opens with the imperfect verb en {ἦν | ên}, the imperfect active indicative third person singular of εἰμί ‘to be,’ which, when paired with the present participle didaskon {διδάσκων | didáskōn} ‘teaching,’ forms an imperfect periphrastic construction emphasizing continuous action.
