Exegesis
The opening genitive absolute apopsychonton anthrōpōn {ἀποψυχόντων ἀνθρώπων | apopsychóntōn anthrṓpōn} sets the scene by describing the state of humanity before the main assertion. English renders this most naturally as a finite future clause, since a detached participial structure would sound unnatural in the target language.
In context — Luke 21:26
People will collapse from fear and expectation of what is coming upon the inhabited world , for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
