Exegesis
The conjunction de in hoi de mathētai {οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ | hoi dè mathētai} ‘but the disciples’ shifts focus, and the final prepositional phrase tois ochlois {τοῖς ὄχλοις | toîs óchlois} ‘to the crowds’ identifies the ultimate recipients. This coordination preserves the sequence of mediated provision in the narrative.
