Exegesis
The main verb ékraksan {ἔκραξαν | ékraksan} propels the action forward, and the participle légontes {λέγοντες | légontes} leads into the direct address.
In context — Matthew 20:30
See, two blind men sat beside the road; upon learning that Jesus was passing by, they cried out, “Lord , have mercy on us, Son of David.”
