Exegesis
The main imperfect ekrazen {ἔκραζεν | ékrazen} ‘she was crying out’ portrays continuous, repeated shouting, while the present participle legousa {λέγουσα | légousa} ‘saying’ introduces the specific content of her plea in direct discourse.
In context — Matthew 15:22
And behold, a Canaanite woman from those regions came out and was crying out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord , Son of David ; my daughter is badly demon-possessed.”
