Exegesis
The aorist participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | a-po-kri-theìs} “having answered” frames Peter’s response as a narrative backdrop leading to the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} “he said.”
In context — Matthew 17:4
Peter answered and said to Jesus , “Lord , it is a good thing for us to be here; if You wish, I will put up three tents here—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
