we saw
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, first person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative first person plural denotes a simple, completed act performed by "we." The rendering "we saw" preserves the primary root sense of physical sight while allowing for perceptive force inherent in ὁράω. |
