Exegesis
The verse begins with the circumstantial aorist participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | apokritheís} ‘answering’, which is subordinated to the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} ‘he said’, giving a typical narrative structure of backgrounded action followed by foregrounded speech.
In context — Luke 20:3
And He answered them, “I will also ask you a question ; now tell me.”
