Exegesis
The narrative begins with the verb apekrithe {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pe-kri-thē} introducing direct speech by the Roman commander, with de {δὲ | de} marking mild contrast.
In context — Acts 22:28
The commander answered, “I obtained this citizenship with a large payment.” But Paul said, “But I also was born a citizen.”
