Exegesis
The next clause eipen te pros eme {εἶπέν τε πρὸς ἐμέ | eîpen te pròs emé} uses eipen {εἶπέν | eîpen} ‘he said’ with the enclitic conjunction te {τε | te} to connect this speech to the preceding question, and the prepositional phrase pros eme {πρὸς ἐμέ | pròs emé} ‘to me’ specifies Saul as the recipient.
In context — Acts 22:8
And I answered, “Who are You, Lord ?” And He said to me, “I am Jesus , the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.”
