Exegesis
The aorist passive participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθείς | a-po-kri-theís} “having answered” functions adverbially and temporally before the main verb legei {λέγει | lé-gei} “says,” indicating that the response precedes the ongoing act of speaking.
In context — Mark 11:22
And Jesus , having answered, says to them, “Have faith in God .”
