Exegesis
The verse opens with the aorist participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | a-po-kri-theís} ‘having answered’, which functions circumstantially to introduce Jesus’ response and links His words to the preceding dialogue.
In context — Matthew 17:17
Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I remain with you? How long must I endure you? Bring him here to me.”
