Exegesis
The subject is specified by the articular name ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs}, followed by a second aorist participle, theasamenos {θεασάμενος | the-a-sá-me-nos} “having seen,” which is coordinated with kai {καὶ | kaí}.
Their response is marked by the vocative Rabbi {Ῥαββί | Rhabbí}, immediately followed by a relative clause ho legetai methermeneuomenon {ὃ λέγεται μεθερμηνευόμενον | ho lé-ge-tai me-ther-me-neu-ó-me-non}, literally “which is said, being interpreted,” with the participle explaining the translation process.
