Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} then connects this clause with aphekan autous {ἀφῆκαν αὐτούς | aphê-kan autous}, where aphekan denotes release. The paratactic structure in Greek is subtly subordinated and reconnected in English to emphasize the sequence of instruction and compliance.
Root and etymology

In context — Mark 11:6
And they spoke to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
