Exegesis
The verse opens with the neuter participle akouonta {ἀκούοντα | a-koú-on-ta} modifying the subject phrase ta ethne {τὰ ἔθνη | tà éth-nē}, yielding a circumstantial participial construction that is best rendered temporally as “when the Gentiles were hearing.”
In context — Acts 13:48
But when the nations were hearing this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord , and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
