15 IWANNHS MARTUREI PERI AUTOU KAI KEKRAGEN LEGWN: hOUTOS HN hON
EIPON: hO OPISW MOU ERCOMENOS EMPROSQEN MOU GEGONEN, hOTI PRWTOS MOU

It looks like the direct speech starts with hOUTOS HN hON EIPON:
followed by an imbedded quote. Origen or no Origen there is no quoted
speech which is a complement of EXHGHSATO in verse 18.
