Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì} links both the stages of the narrative and the final result, culminating in apolesen pantas, where pantas {πάντας | pán-tas} functions as the comprehensive direct object. In translation, the ongoing force of the imperfects is represented with “were eating, were drinking” and related forms, while the aorists are rendered with simple past to maintain the narrative punch of the sudden judgment.
In context — Luke 17:27
They were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
