Exegesis
The verse begins with eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘he said’, introducing direct speech and marking a new but closely connected moment in the dialogue through the connective de {δὲ | dè}, which here has a mild transitional force often rendered “but” or “then.”
In context — Luke 18:28
But Peter said, “Behold, we have left our own things and have followed You .”
