Exegesis
The verse opens with the combination ho men oun kyrios Iesous {Ὁ μὲν οὖν κύριος Ἰησοῦς | ho mèn oûn ký-ri-os Iē-soûs}, where men oun forms a discourse connective that signals a consequential step in the narrative, while the articular title kyrios plus the proper name Iesous marks the subject with both grammatical clarity and theological weight.
