Exegesis
The particle de {δέ | dé} marks the pivot to self-assertion in hemeis de tou Moyseos esmen mathetai {ἡμεῖς δὲ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐσμὲν μαθηταί | hēmeîs dè toû Mōyséōs esmèn mathētái}, a parallel copular clause that heightens the antithesis between the healed man’s alleged association and the speakers’ claimed allegiance to Moses.
