Exegesis
The verse begins with idontes {ἰδόντες | idóntes} ‘having seen’, an aorist participle framing the main verb ēganaktēsan {ἠγανάκτησαν | ēganaktḗsan} ‘they became indignant’.
In context — Matthew 21:15
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He did and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they became indignant.
