Exegesis
Preceding it, the aorist participle akousas {ἀκούσας | a-koú-sas} functions as a circumstantial temporal participle, indicating an action completed prior to the main verb, so it is rendered as “when he heard.”
In context — Matthew 19:22
But when the young man heard the statement, he went away sorrowful , for he was one who had many possessions .
