Exegesis
The verse begins with kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this statement to the preceding context and governing the imperfect ekērussen {ἐκήρυσσεν | ekḗryssen} ‘he was preaching,’ which portrays ongoing activity.
In context — Mark 1:7
And he was preaching, saying, “The One who is mightier than I is coming after me, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.”
