Greek Commentary for Luke 18:34
Imperfect active. They kept on not perceiving. Twice already Luke has said this in the same sentence. [source]
First aorist active indicative, a summary statement. This saying was hid from them (ην το ρημα τουτο κεκρυμμενον απ αυτων ēn to rhēma touto kekrummenon ap' autōn). Past perfect passive indicative (periphrastic), state of completion. It was a puzzling experience. No wonder that Luke tries three times to explain the continued failure of the apostles to understand Jesus. The words of Christ about his death ran counter to all their hopes and beliefs. [source]

Matthew has “apart” from the crowds and that is what Mark also means. Note παραλαβων paralabōn taking to his side.And began to tell them the things that were to happen to him (ηρχατο αυτοις λεγειν τα μελλοντα αυτωι συμβαινειν ērxato autois legein ta mellonta autōi sumbainein). He had done it before three times already (Mark 8:31; Mark 9:13; Mark 9:31). So Jesus tries once more. They had failed utterly heretofore. How is it now? Luke adds (Luke 18:34): “They understood none of these things.” But Mark and Matthew show how the minds of two of the disciples were wholly occupied with plans of their own selfish ambition while Jesus was giving details of his approaching death and resurrection.
