Exegesis
The appositive article-plus-participle construction ho hestos kai akousas {ὁ ἑστὼς καὶ ἀκούσας | ho hes-tṓs kaí a-koú-sas} modifies “crowd,” portraying it as both “standing” and “having heard,” and compressing description into participial phrases instead of separate clauses.
In context — John 12:29
Therefore the crowd that was standing there and heard it was saying that it had thundered; others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him .”
