Exegesis
The verse unfolds paratactically, opening with kai euthys {καὶ εὐθὺς | kaí eû-thỳs} ‘and immediately,’ which foregrounds the direct effect of Jesus’ command.
The reaction clause kai exestēsan {καὶ ἐξέστησαν | kaí exéstēsan} ‘and they were astonished’ mirrors the earlier immediacy, and the dative of manner ekstasei megalē {ἐκστάσει μεγάλῃ | ekstásei megálē} ‘with great amazement’ intensifies their response. The repeated kai and largely asyndetic coordination create a brisk tempo that emphasizes both the sudden miracle and the communal wonder.
In context — Mark 5:42
And immediately the girl rose and began walking , for she was twelve years old. And they were immediately amazed with great astonishment .
