Exegesis
The verse begins with the articular participle ho de apokritheis {ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθείς | ho dè apokritheís} ‘the one who answered’, which designates Jesus as the responder and contrasts the preceding speaker.
The conjunction de {δὲ | dè} ‘but’ signals this shift.
In context — Matthew 17:11
Jesus answered, “Elijah is indeed coming, and he will restore all things.”
