they took alongside

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active indicative expresses a simple completed action in past time, and the third person plural indicates "they." "Took alongside" preserves the para- (alongside) + lambanō (take) sense of actively bringing or receiving into one’s company.
