Exegesis
The finite verb eipan {εἶπαν | eî-pan} functions as the main verb of the clause, with apokrinthentes understood as circumstantial, so the structure can be rendered as “having answered, they said.” Direct speech follows, introduced without an additional verb of saying in Greek.
In context — Luke 20:39
But some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher , you have spoken well.”
