Exegesis
The imperfect edoxazon {ἐδόξαζον | edóxazon} ‘they glorified’ indicates ongoing praise, with the circumstantial participle legontes {λέγοντες | légontes} ‘saying’ introducing two content clauses.
In context — Luke 7:16
Fear seized everyone, and they glorified God , saying, “A great prophet has been raised up among us,” and, “God has visited His people .”
