Exegesis
The second imperfect epheren {ἔφερεν | é-phe-ren} ‘it was bearing’ governs the distributive series hen triakonta kai hen hexekonta kai hen hekaton {ἓν τριάκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑξήκοντα καὶ ἓν ἑκατόν | hèn triákonta kaí hèn hexḗkonta kaí hèn hekatón}, where each hen ‘one’ marks a separate yield level. English renderings reflect this structure by employing “some” plus “fold” in formal and numeric “times” in dynamic.
In context — Mark 4:8
And other seed fell into the good ground and kept giving fruit , growing up and increasing; and it bore—some thirtyfold , some sixtyfold, and some a hundredfold.
