Exegesis
The verse opens with the narrative formula ho de apokritheis eipen {ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν | ho dè apokritheìs eîpen}, where the articular participle apokritheis functions with the finite verb eipen to form the idiomatic “answering, He said,” a common Semitic-style construction introducing direct speech.
In context — Matthew 13:11
But He answered and said to them, “Because to you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those it has not been given.”
