Exegesis

The conjunction kai {καὶ | kai} ‘and’ then introduces the accusative interrogative posous kophinous {πόσους κοφίνους | pó-sous ko-phí-nous} ‘how many baskets’, with the aorist active indicative verb elabete {ἐλάβετε | e-lá-be-te} ‘you took up’ postponed to the end for rhetorical impact. The English maintains the coordinated negative structure and the genitive–accusative relationship to preserve the connection to the narrative context.
