Exegesis
The clause opens with ho de eipen {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν | ho dé eî-pen}, a narrative formula in which the article ho functions as a pragmatic subject marker, effectively “but He said,” with dé linking this response to the preceding dialogue.
In context — Luke 18:27
But He said, “The things that are impossible with men are possible with God .”
