Exegesis
The concluding clause kai dia touto energousin hai dunameis en autō {καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἐνεργοῦσιν αἱ δυνάμεις ἐν αὐτῷ | kaì dià toû-to e-ner-GOÛ-sin haí du-NÁ-meis en au-tṓ} connects this belief to present experience: dia touto ‘because of this’ signals a causal relationship, and the present energousin ‘are at work’ depicts the dunameis ‘powers’ as presently operating “in him.” In translation, this syntactic progression—Herod’s hearing, the spread of the name, the popular explanation, and the perceived connection to miracles—is preserved by keeping the causal and reported-speech structure explicit.
