Exegesis
The particle de {δὲ | de} links this development to the preceding context while signaling a slight contrast. The coordinated structure kai hoi men … hoi de …
{καὶ οἱ μὲν … οἱ δὲ … | kaí hoi men … hoi de …} forms a balanced correlative pair, dividing the populace into two contrasted groups.
In context — Acts 14:4
But the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, but others with the apostles .
