Exegesis

The verse consists of three clauses coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí}.

The final clause, kai elupēthēsan sphodra {καὶ ἐλυπήθησαν σφόδρα | kaí elupḗthēsan sphódra}, uses the aorist passive ‘they were grieved’ with the adverb ‘greatly’ to convey the disciples’ deep sorrow. English translation preserves the future sequence and temporal dative, marks the shift with a semicolon and full stop, and renders the passive and emotional intensity explicitly.

In contextMatthew 17:23

They will kill Him , and on the third day He will be raised; and they were exceedingly grieved .
