This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the meanwhile (en tōi metaxu). Supply kairoi or chronoi. See to metaxu Sabbaton, “the next Sabbath” (Act 13:42) and en tōi metaxu (Luk 8:1). Metaxu means between.
Prayed him (ērōtōn auton). Imperfect active, “kept beseeching him.” For this late (Koiné) use of erōtaō, to beseech, instead of the usual sense to question see also Joh 4:40, Joh 4:47. Their concern for the comfort of Jesus overcame their surprise about the woman.
