Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} links this description to the clause ouk ekratēsate me {οὐκ ἐκρατήσατέ με | ouk e-kra-tē-sa-té me} “you did not seize Me,” where the aorist indicative ekratēsate presents the (non-)action as a whole, contrasting their earlier inaction with the current arrest.
In context — Mark 14:49
Day by day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this took place so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.
