Exegesis
Within that clause, hoi Pharisaioi {οἱ Φαρισαῖοι | hoi Pha-ri-saî-oi} ‘the Pharisees’ serve as the subject of the participle akousantes {ἀκούσαντες | a-koú-san-tes} ‘having heard’, which is temporally anterior to the main passive verb eskandalisthēsan {ἐσκανδαλίσθησαν | es-kan-da-lís-thē-san} ‘were offended’.
In context — Matthew 15:12
Then the disciples came and said to Him , "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended after hearing the word?"
