Exegesis
The prepositional construction ho apo Nazareth tēs Galilaias {ὁ ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲθ τῆς Γαλιλαίας | ho apò Nazaréth tês Galilaíās} uses apo with the genitive to denote origin and a second genitive to specify place. In English, the formal retains the imperfect aspect as “were saying,” while the dynamic opts for “replied” to reflect a more immediate conversational tone.
In context — Matthew 21:11
And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus , from Nazareth, in Galilee.”
