Exegesis
Within this clause, the imperfect en {ἦν | ên} combined with the present participle echon {ἔχων | é-khōn} creates a periphrastic verbal idea, emphasizing the durative nature of his condition, literally “he was having,” idiomatically “he had.”
In context — Matthew 19:22
But when the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful , for he was one who had many possessions .
