Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en tē Galilaia {ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ | en tē̂ Ga-li-laí-a} functions as a locative setting for the imperfect verbs ēkolouthoun {ἠκολούθουν | ē-ko-loú-thoun} and diēkonoun {διηκόνουν | di-ē-kó-noun}. These twin imperfects, “were following” and “were serving,” depict continual, habitual action over time, underscoring sustained discipleship rather than a single event.
