Hi,

why the present participle noun hOI ESQIONTES in matt 15:38?

hOI DE ESQIONTES HSAN TETRAKISXILIOI ADNRES.

Why not the aorist participle hOI ESQISANTES?

The use of hOI ESQIONTES means that the sentence should be taken
to mean

Those who were eating were four thousand men?

Sincerely
Moon Jung
