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.
In context — Acts 22:9
But those who were with me saw the light indeed, but they did not hear the voice of Him who was speaking to me.
