Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì} links this saying to the preceding context, followed by the narrative verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} introducing direct speech with indirect object autois {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs}.
In context — Luke 16:15
And He said to them, “You are the ones who declare yourselves righteous before people, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among people is an abomination in the sight of God.”
