Exegesis
The aorist passive participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | apokritheís} combined with the finite verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} forms a common narrative response formula, literally “having answered, he said,” which in English is best rendered as the simple finite sequence “answered and said/replied.”
In context — Matthew 13:37
But He answered and said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man .”
