Exegesis
Kai {καὶ | kaí} links the second clause, paroimian oudemian legeis {παροιμίαν οὐδεμίαν λέγεις | pa-roi-mí-an ou-de-mí-an lé-geis}, where the fronted negated object heightens the contrast: Jesus is now speaking without figurative concealment. The English renderings preserve the same two-part antithesis between direct speech and indirect saying.
In context — John 16:29
His disciples said to Him, "Look, now You are speaking openly , and You are saying no proverb whatsoever."
