Exegesis
The exceptive construction ei mē {εἰ μὴ | ei mḕ} ‘except’ introduces the sole qualification, followed by the dative phrase oligois arrōstois {ὀλίγοις ἀρρώστοις | o-lí-gois ar-rṓ-stois}, which marks the limited group who did receive benefit.
In context — Mark 6:5
And He was not able to do any mighty work there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.
