Exegesis
The direct object is expanded as tēn parabolēn tautēn {τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην | tḕn parabolḕn taútēn} “this parable,” article–noun–demonstrative in accusative feminine singular, emphasizing a specific teaching just given. In translation, the participle is rendered as a simple past “answered” or “replied” to keep English narrative style natural while preserving the sense of responsive speech, and the command phrason is represented by clear request language (“Explain…”, “Tell us what this parable means”) to reflect its imperatival force.
In context — Matthew 15:15
But Peter answered and said to Him , “Explain the parable to us.”
