Exegesis
The main verb elegen {ἔλεγεν | élegen} ‘he was saying’ (imperfect) presents ongoing speech to tō ochlō {τῷ ὄχλῳ | tôi óchlō} ‘the crowd’.
In context — Luke 13:14
But the synagogue ruler, outraged because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath , replied to the crowd, “There are six days in which it is necessary to work; come on those days to be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”
