Exegesis
The verse opens with the narrative frame eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘said,’ followed by the indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | au-tôi} ‘to him’ and then the explicit subject ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs} ‘the Jesus,’ a verb-first narrative pattern that highlights the act of speaking before naming the speaker.
