Exegesis
The verse opens with the article-pronoun combination ho de {ὁ δὲ | ho de} functioning as a resumptive “but He,” with de {δὲ | de} marking narrative contrast from the woman’s prior plea.
In context — Matthew 15:23
But He did not answer her a word, and His disciples came and kept asking Him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.”
