Exegesis
The final clause, introduced by kai {καὶ | kaî} ‘and’, combines the substantive adjective pántes {πάντες | pántes} ‘all’ with the imperfect active verb ethaúmazon {ἐθαύμαζον | ethaúmazon} ‘were amazed’, conveying repeated communal astonishment. English translation preserves the Greek sequential connectors and aorist-incipient nuance with “began proclaiming” and renders the relative clause as “all that,” balancing exhaustiveness and experiential impact.
