Exegesis
The narrative frame opens with egō de eipa {ἐγὼ δὲ εἶπα | egō dè eîpa} ‘I, however, said’, where the postpositive de links this response to the preceding narrative while egō is explicitly stated, adding emphasis to the speaker’s personal reaction.
The second narrative frame ho de kyrios eipen {ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν | ho dè ký-rios eî-pen} places “the Lord” as the explicit subject, again linked by de, forming a balanced exchange between Saul’s question and the Lord’s reply.
Root and etymology

In context — Acts 26:15
