‏ John 12:29

 That it had thundered ( βροντην γεγονενα ). Perfect active infinitive of  γινομα in indirect discourse after  ελεγεν and the accusative of general reference ( βροντην, thunder, as in Mr 3:17), "that thunder came to pass." So the crowd "standing by" ( εστως, second perfect active participle of  ιστημ ), but Jesus understood his Father's voice.

 An angel hath spoken to him ( Αγγελος αυτω λελαληκεν ). Perfect active indicative of  λαλεω. So, when Jesus spoke to Saul on the way to Damascus, those with Saul heard the voice, but did not understand (Ac 9:7; 22:9).
