Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this with the second aorist participle gonupetesas {γονυπετήσας | gonupetēsas} “having knelt,” which expresses a completed act of reverence prior to the main imperfect verb.
In context — Mark 10:17
And as He was going out into the road, one ran up and, having knelt to Him, was asking Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life ?”
