Exegesis
The verse opens with the nominative article hoi {οἱ | hoí} and the aorist participle akousantes {ἀκούσαντες | akoúsantes}, linked by the connective de {δέ | dé}, forming a circumstantial participial clause that is temporally prior to the main action.
In context — John 8:9
But when they had heard, and being convicted by the conscience , they began to go out one by one, starting from the elders, and Jesus was left alone, and the woman was standing in the midst.
