Exegesis
In the third clause, the aorist passive etherapeuthē {ἐθεραπεύθη | etherapheúthē} ‘was healed’ signals the completed restoration of ho pais {ὁ παῖς | pais} ‘the child,’ and the temporal genitive phrase apo tēs hōras ekeinēs {ἀπὸ τῆς ὥρας ἐκείνης | apò tês hṓras ekeínês} ‘from that hour’ specifies both timing and enduring effect. English renders this chain of aorist verbs in simple past tense joined by “and” to preserve narrative momentum and the cause-and-effect progression from exorcism to healing.
Root and etymology
