Exegesis
The object pronoun auton {αὐτόν | autón} ‘him’ comes at the end of the clause, giving it an emphatic position that concentrates the crowd’s demand on a single individual. The English renderings preserve the imperfect nuance by “kept shouting” and “continued to yell,” maintain the participial structure with “saying,” and mirror the forceful repetition of the aorist imperative with the repeated “Crucify.”
In context — Luke 23:21
But they kept shouting , saying, “Crucify, crucify Him .”
