Exegesis
The narrative then presents the imperfect ēkouon {ἤκουον | ḗ-kou-on} “were listening,” indicating ongoing attention to Barnabas and Paul in the genitive (Barnaba {Βαρναβᾶ | Bar-na-bâ}, Paulou {Παύλου | Paú-lou}), as akouō regularly takes the genitive for the person heard.
In context — Acts 15:12
Then the whole multitude became quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they recounted all the signs and wonders that God had done among the Gentiles through them.
