Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros autous {πρὸς αὐτοὺς | pròs au-toús} ‘to them’ indicates the audience of Paul’s inquiry.
In the reply, hoi de {οἱ δὲ | hoi dè} ‘but they’ contrasts with Paul, and pros auton {πρὸς αὐτὸν | pròs au-tón} ‘to him’ shows the direction of their response.
In context — Acts 19:2
And he asked them, “When you believed , did you receive the Holy Spirit ?” They replied, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
