Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive absolute construction luonton auton ton polon {λυόντων αὐτῶν τὸν πῶλον | lyón-tōn au-tōn tón pô-lon}, where the participle luonton provides a temporal frame, “while they were untying,” and the genitive pronoun auton supplies the implicit subject (the disciples), with the object ton polon inside the same genitive phrase.
In context — Luke 19:33
While they were untying the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you untying the colt ?”
