Exegesis
The accusative neuter plural polla {πολλά | pollá}, used substantively, stands as the internal object of the accusing, placed at the end of the clause for emphasis on the sheer number and variety of charges. In translation, the imperfect is rendered with a progressive aspect (“were accusing,” “kept on accusing”) to reflect the durative force, while the word order is smoothed into natural English while preserving the focus on the chief priests as agents and the multiplicity of accusations.
In context — Mark 15:3
And the chief priests were accusing Him of many things.
