Exegesis
The verse begins with the participial clause eipousa touto {εἰποῦσα τοῦτο | ei-poû-sa toû-to} ‘having said this’, which functions temporally, setting the background for the main finite verb apelthen {ἀπῆλθεν | ap-êl-then} ‘she went away’.
A second participle eipousa {εἰποῦσα | ei-poû-sa} introduces the direct speech, functioning as a quotative participle.
In context — John 11:28
And when she had said this, she went away and called Mary, her sister, in secret , saying, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”
