Exegesis
The postpositive de {δὲ | dè} and coordinating kai {καὶ | kaì} link this remark to what precedes, while pros tous mathetas {πρὸς τοὺς μαθητάς | pròs toùs mathē-tás} specifies the immediate audience.
The clause kai houtos dieblḗ-thē autōi {καὶ οὗτος διεβλήθη αὐτῷ | kaì hoû-tos di-eb-lḗ-thē au-tôi} shifts focus to the steward, with the aorist passive marking the completed act of accusation.
