Exegesis
The verse opens with a tightly packed temporal frame: proi {πρωῒ | prō-í} ‘early in the morning’ is intensified by ennucha {ἔννυχα | én-nu-kha} ‘while still night’ and lian {λίαν | lí-an} ‘very,’ creating a sense of extreme earliness and darkness.
In context — Mark 1:35
And very early in the morning, while it was still night, having arisen, He went out and departed into a deserted place, and there He was praying .
