Exegesis
The verse begins with the imperfect verbs edidasken {ἐδίδασκεν | e-dí-das-ken} ‘was teaching’ and elegen {ἔλεγεν | é-le-gen} ‘was saying’, forming a narrative frame of ongoing instruction in the temple.
In context — Mark 11:17
And He was teaching and saying to them, “Has it not been written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations ’? But you have made it a den of robbers.”
