Exegesis
The verse begins with the narrative marker ho de eipen {ὁ δὲ εἶπεν | ho dè eî-pen}, combining the article used as a pronoun with the connective particle and aorist verb to continue the dialogue with a simple past-tense report, “But He said.”
The conditional protasis ei de theleis {εἰ δὲ θέλεις | ei dè thé-leis} introduces a real condition, “If you wish,” with the de again lightly contrasting the condition with the preceding statement about the One who is good.
