Exegesis

The second main verb eblasphemesan {ἐβλασφήμησαν | eblasphḗmēsan} “they blasphemed” introduces a new coordinated action, with to onoma {τὸ ὄνομα | tó ónoma} “the name” as its direct object, further defined by the genitive tou theou {τοῦ θεοῦ | toû theoû} “of God.”

The articular participial phrase tou echontos {τοῦ ἔχοντος | toû échontos} with its object ten exousian {τὴν ἐξουσίαν | tḗn exousíān} and the prepositional phrase epi tas plegas tautas {ἐπὶ τὰς πληγὰς ταύτας | epì tàs plēgàs taútas} functions attributively, portraying God as the One who possesses jurisdiction “over these plagues.”
