Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} linking to the previous vision, followed by the aorist indicative verb eidon {εἶδον | eî-don} “I saw,” introducing the judicial scene.
The phrase tous nekrous tous megalous kai tous mikrous {τοὺς νεκρούς τοὺς μεγάλους καὶ τοὺς μικρούς | toûs ne-kroús toûs me-gá-lous kaí toûs mi-kroús} uses repeated articles with contrasting adjectives to emphasize that both high-status and low-status individuals are summoned.
In context — Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne , and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life ; and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their deeds.
