Exegesis
The verse opens with ho de apokritheis {ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς | ho dè apokritheís} “but the one having answered,” where the nominative article ho plus the aorist passive participle apokritheis functions as a circumstantial participial clause, identifying the subject (Jesus) and presenting His response as a reaction to the previous speech.
In context — Matthew 15:24
But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
