NET Notes

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the consequential nature of the people’s response.

2 tn Though this verb is imperfect, in this context it does not mean repeated, ongoing questions, but simply a presentation in vivid style as the following verbs in the other examples are aorist.
