Exegesis
The clause Ὁ κύριός ἐστιν {Ὁ κύριός ἐστιν | Ho ký-ri-os é-stin} “It is the Lord” is short and emphatic, with the subject fronted and the copula following, functioning almost as a christological confession.
The aorist participle akousas {ἀκούσας | a-koú-sas} “having heard” is adverbial, temporal, and causal, showing that Peter’s subsequent actions are an immediate response to the report hoti ho kurios estin {ὅτι ὁ κύριός ἐστιν | hó-ti ho ký-ri-os é-stin} “that it was the Lord.”
