Exegesis
The aorist verb ekraxen {ἔκραξεν | ékraksen} ‘he cried out’ marks the climactic response, and the participle legon {λέγων | légōn} ‘saying’ introduces the petition.
In context — Matthew 14:30
But when he saw the powerful wind, he was filled with fear; and as he began to sink, he cried out , saying, “Lord , save me.”
