Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì} ‘and’ links this reaction closely to the preceding healing episode, marking it as an immediate response.
The subject is the coordinated noun phrase hoi grammateis kai hoi Pharisaioi {οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι | hoî grammateîs kaì hoî Pharisaîoi}, joining two influential religious groups as a unified opposition.
Root and etymology
dikaiosdíkai-os
“just, upright”
In context — Luke 5:21
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this one who speaks blasphemies ? Who can forgive sins except God alone?”
