Exegesis
The verse employs the historical present legei {λέγει | lé-gei} to vividly frame the dialogue, followed by the dative pronoun autō {αὐτῷ | au-tô} marking the indirect object and then the explicit subject ho Iesous {ὁ Ἰησοῦς | ho Iē-soûs}, producing a verb–indirect object–subject sequence that keeps focus on the act of speaking before naming the speaker.
