Exegesis
The main verbal backbone consists of three imperfect indicatives: etupton {ἔτυπτον | é-typ-ton} “they were striking,” eneptuon {ἐνέπτυον | e-nép-tu-on} “they were spitting,” and prosekynoun {προσεκύνουν | pro-se-ký-noun} “they were paying homage.” The imperfect aspect presents these as ongoing or repeated actions, not isolated blows or spits.

In context — Mark 15:19
