Exegesis
The participle legōn {λέγων | lég-ōn} functions circumstantially, introducing the reported speech Μετανοῶ {Μετανοῶ | me-ta-no-ô} “I repent” as the content accompanying each return.
In context — Luke 17:4
And if he should sin against you seven times in a day, and seven times he should return to you, saying, “I repent,” you shall forgive him .
