hoi DE syn e-MOI ON-tes to MEN PHÔS e-the-A-san-to tên DE phō-NÊN ouk Ê-kou-san tou la-loûn-TOS MOI
Exegesis
The verse begins with the nominative plural phrase hoi de syn emoi ontes {οἱ δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ ὄντες | hoi dè sýn emoì óntes} ‘but those being with me’, which functions as the subject of both main verbs and highlights Paul’s companions as a distinct group.
The correlative particles men–de {μέν–δὲ | mén–dè} introduce a balanced contrast between what the companions did perceive and what they did not: to men phos etheasanto {τὸ μὲν φῶς ἐθεάσαντο | tó mén phôs etheásanto} ‘on the one hand, they saw the light’ versus ten de phonen ouk ekousan {τὴν δὲ φωνὴν οὐκ ἤκουσαν | tén dè phōnḕn ouk ḗkousan} ‘but, on the other hand, they did not hear the voice’.
