Exegesis
The contrastive particle de {δὲ | dè} after the article hoi {οἱ | hoí} shifts focus to mathetai {μαθηταὶ | ma-thē-taí}, whose aorist verb epetimesan {ἐπετίμησαν | e-pe-tí-mē-san} conveys their rebuke of autois {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs}, highlighting the tension between welcoming and restricting.

In context — Matthew 19:13
Then children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
