ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς
and Jesus answers them
John 12:23 · dictionary form
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη· οὐκ εἰμί
and he answered, “I am not”
John 1:21 · 3sg aorist
ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰωάννης λέγων
John answered them, saying
John 1:26 · 3sg aorist

Present middle/deponent, 1sg

Aorist ἀπεκρίθη is the workhorse in narrative. 1sg present is unattested in the NT; the verse shows 3sg ἀποκρίνεται.

Deponent. The NT almost always uses the aorist ἀπεκρίθη / ἀπεκρίθησαν, not the 1sg present. ἀποκρίνεται is the rare present 3sg.
