Exegesis
The verse presents a paratactic sequence introduced by repeated kai {καὶ | kaí}, crafting a stepwise narrative: the aorist apelthon {ἀπῆλθον | apêlthon} “they went away,” then the aorist heuron {εὗρον | heûron} “they found,” and finally the present lyousin {λύουσιν | lýousin} “they loose,” which serves as a vivid historical present.
In context — Mark 11:4
And they went away and found a colt tied near a door outside at the junction , and they untied it.
