Exegesis
The second clause, introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} “and,” uses the imperfect ēkouon {ἤκουον | ḗkouon} “they were hearing,” with explicit subject hoi mathētai {οἱ μαθηταὶ | hoi mathētai} “the disciples,” portraying an ongoing scene of attentive listening as the judgment is pronounced. In translation, the curse-like structure is preserved by using “No one may…ever again” and “May no person ever…,” which reflect the Greek subjunctive’s force, while the narrative flow is kept by maintaining the participial background and the sequential clauses.
In context — Mark 11:14
And having answered, He said to it, “No one may eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples were listening.
