Exegesis
A contrast is then introduced with hoi de archiereis {οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς | hoi dè archiereîs}, where the conjunction de is attached to the article, marking a shift from Jesus’ ministry to the hostile response of the authorities.
In context — Luke 19:47
And He was teaching each day in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy Him.
