Exegesis

The prepositional phrase peri tōn duo adelphōn {περὶ τῶν δύο ἀδελφῶν | pe-rí tōn dý-o a-del-phôn} “about the two brothers” uses peri with the genitive to mark the object or focus of their emotion. Greek places the participle before the main verb to show a cause-effect progression: once they heard, then they became indignant. The English renderings preserve this temporal and causal relationship by using “when” or “found out” to introduce the hearing as the circumstance that leads naturally to indignation.

In contextMatthew 20:24

And when the ten heard , they were indignant about the two brothers .
