Exegesis
The narrative particle de {δὲ | dè} marks a shift to a responsive utterance introduced by the participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | apokritheîs} governing the main verb legei {λέγει | légei}.
In context — Luke 13:8
But he answered and said to him, “Sir , let it stand this year also until I dig around it and put on manure .”
