Exegesis
The series of aorist verbs (ἦλθεν, ἐπιστεύσατε, ἐπίστευσαν, μετεμελήθητε) presents completed actions in contrast, while the participle ἰδόντες {ἰδόντες | idontes} ‘seeing’ introduces a temporal clause.
In context — Matthew 21:32
For John came to you in the way of righteousness , and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. You, however, after seeing this, did not repent later so as to believe him.
