Thank you for your response. I did find one use of the third plural
imperfect in Mark 12:31, but the fact that it is well attested in extra
Biblical literature makes my arguement more valid.

I looked at BAGD again and it lists a future, 2nd aorist, a distinct aorist
3rd pl., a perfect, future passive, 1st aorist, perfect passive and a
pluperfect form.

Why doesn't it list an imperfect form seeing as it is in the NT and is well
attested? Am I expecting too much from BAGD?
