Exegesis
Each group is marked by a prepositional phrase with syn {σὺν | syn} plus the dative: syn tois Ioudaiois {σὺν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις | syn toîs I-ou-daí-ois} “with the Jews” and syn tois apostolois {σὺν τοῖς ἀποστόλοις | syn toîs a-pó-sto-lois} “with the apostles,” creating parallelism that underscores the stark division of loyalties. In translation, the men/de contrast is rendered with “some … but others …” and “some … while others …,” making explicit the two-party split latent in the Greek correlative construction while preserving the focus on group allegiance.
