Exegesis
The main verbal action follows in coordination: kai ekraxen legon {καὶ ἔκραξεν λέγων | kaí ékraksen légōn} “and He cried out, saying,” where ekraxen is a strong aorist verb of loud public crying, and the present participle legon functions circumstantially to introduce direct speech.
In context — John 7:37
On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty , let him come to Me and let him drink.”
