Exegesis
The source phrase apo tōn dendrōn {ἀπὸ τῶν δένδρων | apó tōn déndrōn} ‘from the trees’ and the repeated en tē hodō reinforce the thorough covering of the roadway. In English, the aorist becomes simple past to show completed acts, while the imperfect is rendered to reflect continuous action.

In context — Matthew 21:8
