Exegesis
The narrative then moves to the main finite verb apekrithe {ἀπεκρίθη | a-pe-krí-thē} ‘he answered’, followed by the dative indirect object autois {αὐτοῖς | au-tois} ‘to them’ and coordinated verb eipen {εἶπεν | ei-pen} ‘he said’, a stereotyped pair forming a formal response formula.
In context — Luke 17:20
And having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God is coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation .”
