Exegesis
A further kai introduces the climactic genitive construction pantōn tōn esphagmenōn epi tēs gēs {πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς | pán-tōn tōn es-phag-mé-nōn e-pì tês gês} ‘of all those who have been slain upon the earth’, extending the indictment from particular martyrs to all victims of bloodshed.
The perfect passive participle esphagmenōn {ἐσφαγμένων | es-phag-mé-nōn} suggests a completed act with abiding consequences, highlighting the continuing testimony of their deaths. English rearranges the elements into a more typical subject–verb–complement order while preserving the cumulative force of the repeated kai and the sweeping totality expressed by pantōn.
In context — Revelation 18:24
And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints , and of all who had been slain on the earth.
