Exegesis
The verse begins with ho de eipen {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν | ho dè eîpen}, a smooth narrative continuation in which de softens the transition while the article ho functions substantively as the recalled speaker.
In context — John 21:6
But He said to them, “Cast the net over on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find.” So they cast it, and they were no longer able to haul it up because of the great multitude of fish.
