Exegesis
A new aorist verb, ebrexen {ἔβρεξεν | É-brex-en} “rained,” is then introduced without an explicit subject, relying on an understood divine or impersonal subject implied by the context, and it governs the coordinated direct objects pyr {πῦρ | pŷr} “fire” and theion {θεῖον | THEI-on} “sulfur,” joined by kai {καὶ | kaí} for cumulative force.
The prepositional phrase ap’ ouranou {ἀπ᾽ οὐρανοῦ | ap ou-ra-NÔU} “from heaven” marks the heavenly origin of the judgment, while the subsequent kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the climactic aorist apōlesen pantas {ἀπώλεσεν πάντας | ap-Ō-le-sen PÁN-tas} “destroyed all,” expressing a consequential result and the totality of the destruction. The English renderings preserve this sequence of aorist verbs to convey a single decisive act of judgment and retain the temporal linkage “on the day” to mirror the Greek structure.
In context — Luke 17:29
But on the day when Lot went out from Sodom , it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all.
