Exegesis
The narrative opens with the article and conjunction sequence hoi de {οἱ δὲ | hoî dè} introducing a contrastive shift to the disciples’ response.
A parallel construction with ho de Iesous {ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς | ho dè Iē-soûs} “but Jesus” marks a change of speaker, with eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} ‘He said’ and the dative autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} ‘to them’ forming a balanced dialogic pair with the initial clause.
