Exegesis
The verse begins with a genitive absolute construction, kai tauta legontos autou {καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ | kaí taûta légontos autoû} “as He said these things,” providing a temporal backdrop.
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces a second imperfect clause, pas ho ochlos echaire {πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἔχαιρεν | pás ho óchlos échairen}, “the whole crowd was rejoicing,” emphasizing continuous joy.
In context — Luke 13:17
As He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame, and the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.
