Exegesis
The main clause centers on eperoton auton {ἐπηρώτων αὐτὸν | e-pē-rṓ-tōn au-tón} “they were asking Him,” where the imperfect eperoton portrays an ongoing or repeated line of questioning rather than a single inquiry.
In context — Mark 7:17
And when He entered into the house away from the crowd, His disciples were asking Him about the parable.
