Exegesis
The sentence opens with the anarthrous conjunctional sequence ho de eipen autois {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς | ho dè eî-pen au-toîs}, where ho functions as a grammatical subject referring back to Jesus, and de marks narrative development. The finite verb eipen introduces direct speech.
In context — Mark 14:20
But He said to them, “One of the Twelve, the one who is dipping with Me into the dish .”
