Exegesis
The verse begins with the nominative article hoi {οἱ | hoi} functioning substantivally as the subject, followed by the postpositive particle de {δὲ | dè}, which is rendered as “and” to maintain narrative flow.
A second clause is introduced by ho de {ὁ δὲ | ho dè}, literally “but he,” with ho resuming the subject and de again marking a mild contrast or progression.
