Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to the main finite verb erxato {ἤρξατο | ḗr-xa-to} ‘he began,’ which governs the coordinated infinitives krazein {κράζειν | krá-zein} ‘to cry out’ and legein {λέγειν | lé-gein} ‘to say,’ a common Greek construction where the inceptive verb plus infinitives depict the onset of intense, repeated action.
In context — Mark 10:47
And when he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and to say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me."
