Exegesis
The main clause begins with the finite verb eipan {εἶπαν | eî-pan} ‘they said’, followed by the nominative participial phrase hoi akousantes {οἱ ἀκούσαντες | akoúsan-tes} ‘the ones having heard’, which functions as the explicit subject.
In context — Luke 18:26
But those who had heard said, “And who is able to be saved ?”
