Exegesis
Two parallel contrasts follow: nekros ēn kai ezēsen {νεκρὸς ἦν καὶ ἔζησεν | ne-krós ēn kai é-zē-sen} ‘was dead and has come to life’ and apolōlōs kai heurethē {ἀπολωλὼς καὶ εὑρέθη | a-po-lō-lōs kai heu-ré-thē} ‘was lost and was found’, each coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí} to underscore the comprehensive reversal, which is naturally rendered in English as paired phrases to convey the climactic joy.
