Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the contrastive nominative participle antikeimenoi {ἀντικείμενοι | an-ti-kei-me-noi} modified by polloi {πολλοί | pol-loí}, substantivized as “many who oppose,” creating an asyndetic balance with the preceding clause. Translation captures the perfect aspect with “has been opened” in formal and present possession in dynamic, and renders the participle as a finite clause to maintain clarity.
