Exegesis
Finally, eme {ἐμὲ | emé} ‘Me’ is placed immediately before lithazete {λιθάζετε | litházete} ‘you are stoning’ for sharp emphasis, making the contrast between beneficent deeds and hostile intent especially forceful. In English, the wording is smoothed into a direct question while preserving the accusative force of dia and the confrontational focus on the speaker’s own person.
