Exegesis
The opening clause kai autoi ouden toutōn synēkan {καὶ αὐτοὶ οὐδὲν τούτων συνῆκαν | kai autoi ouden toútōn synêkan} places autoi in an emphatic position, stressing that they themselves failed to understand, while the aorist synēkan presents their lack of comprehension as a complete cognitive failure regarding “none of these things,” referring back to the preceding passion prediction.
In context — Luke 18:34
And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were being said.
