Exegesis
The verse opens with the aorist participle strapheis {στραφεὶς | stra-pheís} “having turned,” followed immediately by the postpositive de {δὲ | dè}, creating a narrative transition “then/and having turned.”
The narrative then shifts to the disciples with the nominative hoi de eipan {οἱ δὲ εἶπαν | hoi dè eî-pan}, where hoi functions substantivally (“the ones”) and de again links the new clause as a mild contrast or continuation.
