he/she answered back
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), passive form with deponent/middle meaning; indicative mood; 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἀποκρίνομαι combines ἀπό (from) with κρίνω (to separate, judge), originally conveying the idea of making a considered response. The form ἀπεκρίθη is aorist passive indicative, 3rd person singular, functioning deponent with active meaning; "answered back" preserves the responsive force of ἀπό while reflecting the simple past (aorist) action in the indicative, third-person singular. |
