Exegesis
The narrative then shifts to the imperfect verb elegon {ἔλεγον | é-le-gon} ‘they were saying’, framed by the reciprocal pronoun allelous {ἀλλήλους | al-lḗ-lous} ‘to one another’, which highlights their shared astonishment.
In context — Mark 4:41
And they were seized by great fear , and they said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him ?”
