Exegesis
The verse opens with the narrative frame ho de Iesous erxato legein autois {ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἤρξατο λέγειν αὐτοῖς | ho dè Iē-soûs ḗr-xa-to lé-gein au-toîs}, where the conjunction de links this saying to the preceding discourse, and the aorist middle verb erxato with the infinitive legein forms a common idiom meaning “began to speak,” introducing a new, significant section of teaching. The dative autois functions as the indirect object, marking the disciples as the addressees of what follows.
