Exegesis
This gesture’s object, tas kephalas autōn {τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν | tas kephalàs autô̄n} ‘their heads’, depicts visible contempt. The sequence of imperfect and participles emphasizes continuous, multifaceted mockery, which English reflects by combining progressive and participial constructions while preserving the original order.
In context — Matthew 27:39
And those passing by were insulting Him , shaking their heads .
