Exegesis
The verse opens with a genitive absolute construction, akouontos pantos tou laou {Ἀκούοντος παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ | a-koú-on-tos pan-tós toû la-oû} “while all the people were hearing,” which functions adverbially to set the temporal and situational backdrop for the main action.
The participle akouontos {Ἀκούοντος | a-koú-on-tos} denotes ongoing auditory attention, and the genitive phrase pantos tou laou tightly links the entire people to this action, emphasizing that no segment is excluded.
In context — Luke 20:45
While all the people were listening, He said to the disciples .
