Thayer:
ὁ, ἡ, τό, originally τός, τή, τό, (as is evident from the forms τοί, ταί for οἱ, αἱ in Hom. and the Ionic writ.), correspondes to our definite article the (Germ. der, die, das), which is properly a demonstrative pronoun, which we see in its full force in Homer, and of which we find certain indubitable traces also in all kinds of Greek prose, and hence also in the N. T.

I. As a Demonstronstrative Pronoun; Lat. hic, haec, hoc; Germ. der, die, das, emphatic; cf. W. § 17, 1; B. 101 (89) sq.;

Jn. vii. 12; τινές foll. by οἱ δέ, Acts xvii. 18; ὃ (see ὅ I.) μέν foll. by ὁ δέ, Ro. xiv. 2; οἱ δέ stands as though οἱ μέν had preceded, Mt. xxvi. 67; xxviii. 17.
3. in narration, when either two persons or two parties are alternately placed in opposition to each other and the discourse turns from one to the other; ὁ δέ, but he, and he, (Germ. er aber): Mt. ii. 14; iv. 4; xxi. 29 sq.; Mk. i. 45; xii. 15; Lk. viii. 21, 30, 48; xxii. 10, 34; Jn. ix. 38, and very often; plur., Mt. ii. 5, 9; iv. 20; Mk. xii. 14 [R G L mrg.], 16 [L br. οἱ δέ]; Lk. vii. 4; xx. 5, 12; xxii. 9, 38, 71; Acts iv. 21; xii. 15, and often; οἱ μὲν οὖν, in the Acts alone: i. 6, v. 41; xv. 3, 30; ὁ μὲν οὖν, xxiii. 18; xxviii. 5..
