Exegesis
The reply is introduced with hoi de eipan {οἱ δὲ εἶπαν | hoi dé eî-pan}, where the article hoi is used substantively for “they,” and de marks a mild transition from Jesus’ question to the disciples’ response.
In context — Matthew 15:34
And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish .”
