Exegesis
The verse begins with the explicit subject pronoun ego {ἐγὼ | egō} ‘I’, followed by the connective de {δὲ | de} ‘but/and’ and the aorist verb apekrithen {ἀπεκρίθην | apekríthēn} ‘answered’, forming a typical narrative reporting clause.
In context — Acts 22:8
And I answered, “Who are You, Lord ?” And He said to me, “I am Jesus , the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.”
