Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute akouonton auton tauta {Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα | a-kou-ÓN-ton de au-TŌN TAU-ta} ‘while they were hearing these things’, which sets a temporal background independent of the main clause and ties the parable to the preceding teaching.
In context — Luke 19:11
As they were hearing these things, He continued by telling a parable, because He was near to Jerusalem and because they expected that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
