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.
