Exegesis
The aorist participle idontes {ἰδόντες | i-dón-tes} is temporal, best rendered ‘when they saw’, and it introduces a new perspective, that of the disciples.
In context — Luke 18:15
But they were also bringing the infants to Him so that He might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they were rebuking them.
