Exegesis
The aorist passive participle apokrinthentes {ἀποκριθέντες | a-po-kri-thén-tes} “having answered” is adverbial, temporally preceding the main verb eipan {εἶπαν | eî-pan} “they said,” which introduces the concise reply.
In context — Luke 20:24
Show me a denarius . Whose image and inscription does it have? They answered, “Caesar’s.”
