Exegesis
The opening hē de eipen {ἡ δὲ εἶπεν | hē dè eî-pen} links back to the woman and introduces her reply with a mild contrastive particle.
The narrative then shifts focus with eipen de ho Iesous {εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς | eî-pen dè ho Iē-soûs}, marking Jesus as the new subject and continuing the dialogue.
