Exegesis
The verse opens with kai legei {Καὶ λέγει | kaí légei} ‘and he says’, a historical present frequently used by Mark for vivid narration, followed by the dative autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} indicating the disciples as recipients of speech.
In context — Mark 14:27
And Jesus said to them, “All of you will be caused to stumble, because it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd , and the sheep will be scattered.’”
