Exegesis
The verse is built around two coordinated aorist verbs, apekrithe {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pe-krí-thē} ‘he answered’ and eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘he said’, which together frame Thomas’s response as both an act of reply and a spoken confession.
In context — John 20:28
Thomas gave his answer to Him: “My Lord and my God .”
