Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} connects their reception to their derisive response in the second imperfect exemukterizon {ἐξεμυκτήριζον | ek-se-muk-tḗ-ri-zon} ‘they were sneering’, with auton {αὐτόν | au-tón} ‘Him’ as object. The double-imperfect structure highlights simultaneous hearing and contempt, underscoring how greed shaped their attitude toward Jesus.
