Exegesis
The participle akousantes ‘having heard’ is coordinated with the present passive participle elengchomenoi {ἐλεγχόμενοι | e-leng-khó-me-noi} ‘being convicted’, which is modified by the prepositional phrase hupo tēs syneidēseōs {ὑπὸ τῆς συνειδήσεως | hupò tês sy-nei-dḗ-se-ōs} ‘by the conscience’. This structure presents an inner process: hearing Jesus’ words leads to ongoing internal conviction.
