Exegesis
The verse presents a paratactic chain of four future verbs, each introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} ‘and’: empaixousin {ἐμπαίξουσιν | em-paí-xou-sin} ‘they will mock’, emptysousin {ἐμπτύσουσιν | em-ptý-sou-sin} ‘they will spit’, mastigosousin {μαστιγώσουσιν | mas-ti-gó-sou-sin} ‘they will scourge’, and apoktenousin {ἀποκτενοῦσιν | a-po-kte-noû-sin} ‘they will kill’. This sequential coordination heightens the sense of accumulating abuse.
In context — Mark 10:34
And they will mock Him , and they will spit on Him, and they will scourge Him, and they will kill Him. And after three days, He will rise.
