Exegesis
The object of their hearing is ton logon {τὸν λόγον | tón ló-gon} ‘the word’, likely referring to Jesus’ immediately preceding teaching. The participial construction akousantes ton logon is best rendered in English with a temporal clause (“after hearing the word” / “when they heard what You said”), preserving the cause-and-effect relationship that culminates in their being offended.
