Exegesis

The coordinating conjunction kai introduces the second main verb prosēnenkan {προσήνεγκαν | prosḗnenkan} “they brought,” which takes a double object structure: autō {αὐτῷ | autô} “to Him” as the indirect object and pantas tous kakōs ekhontas {πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας | pántas tous kakō̂s échontas} as a substantival participial phrase meaning “all who were ill.” In English, the temporal participle is rendered as a subordinate clause, the emphatic totality of the region is captured by “throughout all that surrounding region” or “across the whole nearby district,” and the participial idiom is rendered naturally as “all those who were sick” or “everyone who was sick.”
