{And they perceived not} (kai ouk egin(9373)kon). Imperfect
active. They kept on not perceiving. Twice already Luke has said
this in the same sentence. {They understood none of these things}
(ouden tout(936e) sun(886b)an). First aorist active indicative, a
summary statement. {This saying was hid from them} ((886e) to rh(886d)a
touto kekrummenon ap' aut(936e)). Past perfect passive indicative
(periphrastic), state of completion. It was a puzzling
experience. No wonder that Luke tries three times to explain the
continued failure of the apostles to understand Jesus. The words
of Christ about his death ran counter to all their hopes and
beliefs.
