Exegesis
The verse opens with the participial clause akousantes {Ἀκούσαντες | a-koú-san-tes} ‘having heard’, followed by another participle genomenoi {γενόμενοι | ge-nó-me-noi} ‘having become’. These two aorist participles form a temporal and causal background, indicating that the act of hearing leads to a changed emotional state.
In context — Acts 19:28
But when they heard this, and had become full of wrath , they began crying out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”
