Exegesis
The clause begins with the narrative formula ho de eipen {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν | ho dè eî-pen}, where the article ho functions substantively as the subject (“he”) and de serves as a connective particle marking a response in the dialogue.
In context — Luke 18:21
But he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth .”
