Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} then introduces a second main action, synkalousin {συνκαλοῦσιν | syn-ka-loû-sin}, a historical present that adds vividness to the narrative by depicting the soldiers’ action of calling together holēn tēn speiran {ὅλην τὴν σπεῖραν | hó-lēn tēn spei-ran}, “the whole cohort,” with the adjective holēn emphasizing the total participation of the unit. In translation, the two main clauses are kept in a single complex sentence, preserving the parenthetical explanation and the sequential flow of movement (leading Him in) followed by assembly (gathering the troops).
In context — Mark 15:16
And the soldiers led Him inside the courtyard, which is the Praetorium, and they called together the whole cohort .
