Exegesis
The verb en {ἦν | ēn} with the participle thaumazontes {θαυμάζοντες | thaumázontes} forms a periphrastic construction expressing continuous action, where ho pater autou kai hē meter {ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ | ho patḗr autoû kaí hē mētēr} serve as a compound subject. The mixed-gender agreement of the masculine plural participle highlights the joint response.
