Exegesis
The verse begins with the narrative particle and verb ὁ δὲ ἔφη {ὁ δὲ ἔφη | ho dè é-phē}, where the subject is the understood master from the broader context, and ephē functions as a speech-introducing verb followed by the indirect object αὐτοῖς {αὐτοῖς | au-toîs} “to them.”
In context — Matthew 13:28
But he said to them, “An enemy —a man—did this.” Then the servants said to him, “Do you want us, therefore, to go and gather them?”
