Exegesis
The verse begins with the emphatic subject humeis {ὑμεῖς | hy-meîs} placed first, marking a contrast with the religious leaders just described, followed immediately by the postpositive de {δὲ | dé}, which links this command to the prior discourse with a mild adversative force (“but you”).
A second de {δὲ | dé} introduces the concluding clause pantes de humeis adelphoi este {πάντες δὲ ὑμεῖς ἀδελφοί ἐστε | pán-tes dé hy-meîs a-del-foí é-ste}.
In context — Matthew 23:8
But you, do not be called Rabbi , for One is your Teacher , and all of you are brothers.
