Exegesis
The verse opens with ho de eipen {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν | ho dè eî-pen} ‘but he said’, a narrative hinge that introduces a direct response within the ongoing dispute.
A sharp adversative follows: hē de kardia autōn {ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῶν | hē dè kar-dí-a au-tôn}, “but their heart,” shifts focus to the internal center of will and devotion.

But He said to them, “Isaiah rightly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.’”
