But they were instant (hoi de epekeinto). Imperfect middle of epikeimai, an old verb for the rush and swirl of a tempest.

With loud voices (phò„nais megalais). Instrumental case. Poor Pilate was overwhelmed by this tornado.

Prevailed (katischuon). Imperfect active of katischuò„ (See note on Mat 16:18; and note on Luk 21:36). The tempest Pilate had invited (Luk 23:13).
