Exegesis
The verse begins with the aorist participle akousantes {ἀκούσαντες | akousantes} ‘having heard’, which functions temporally to situate the disciples’ reaction after Jesus’ preceding teaching about salvation and wealth.
In context — Matthew 19:25
But when the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then is able to be saved ?”
