Exegesis
The narrative formula ho de apokritheis autō legei {ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς αὐτῷ λέγει | ho dè a-po-kri-theís au-tô lé-gei} combines the participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθείς | a-po-kri-theís} with the present legei {λέγει | lé-gei}, a common idiom in narrative Greek that can convey a vivid, ongoing sense (“he answers and says”) while still referring to a single responsive act.
