Exegesis
The verse opens with the nominative article ho {ὁ | ho} plus the adversative particle de {δέ | dé}, forming a topic-shift construction, followed by the historical present verb phesin {φησιν | phē-sin} “he says,” which keeps the dialogue vivid.
In context — Matthew 13:29
But he said, “No, lest while you are gathering the tares , you might uproot the wheat with them at the same time.”
