Exegesis
The aorist participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | a-po-kri-THEIS} combines with the finite verb eipen {εἶπεν | EI-pen} in an idiomatic “answering, he said” construction that foregrounds Peter as the speaker without adding a separate temporal nuance.
In context — Matthew 19:27
Then Peter answered and said to Him , “Behold, we have left all things and have followed You; what then will there be for us?”
