Exegesis
The verse begins with the clause ho de eipen {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν | ho de eî-pen}, where the article ho functions substantively as the subject “He,” and de links this statement to the preceding discourse with a mild contrast. The finite verb eipen carries the narrative past tense, introducing direct speech.
