Exegesis
The narrative clause begins with the aorist verb apekrithesan {ἀπεκρίθησαν | a-pe-krí-thē-san} ‘they answered’, which carries the main finite action and is followed by the inferential conjunction oun {οὖν | oûn} to connect this response logically to the preceding report about the officers.
