Exegesis
The verse opens with ho de apokritheis {ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθείς | ho de a-po-kri-theís} ‘but having answered’, an aorist passive participle functioning circumstantially to introduce the response and link it to the preceding complaint.
In context — Matthew 20:13
But he answered and said to one of them, “Friend, I am not doing you wrong ; did you not agree with me for a denarius ?”
