Exegesis
The verse opens with the article-noun sequence hoi ochloi {ὄχλοι | ó-kh-loi} ‘crowds’ modified by two participles: proagontes {προάγοντες | pro-á-gon-tes} ‘going before’ and akolouthountes {ἀκολουθοῦντες | a-ko-lou-thoúntes} ‘following’, which together take the imperfect verb ekrazon {ἔκραζον | é-kra-zon} ‘were crying out’.
