Exegesis
The verse opens with a genitive absolute construction engizontos de autoû ḗdē {ἐγγίζοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤδη | engízontos de autoû ḗdē} conveying “as He drew near.” The participle engizontos, the genitive pronoun autoû, and the adverb ḗdē set a temporal framework for the main action.
In context — Luke 19:37
And as He drew near—already at the descent of the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing and praising God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen.
