Exegesis
The clause kai ou chreian echeis {καὶ οὐ χρείαν ἔχεις | kai ou khreían é-kheis} states the lack of any need in an idiomatic way; the negation governs the whole phrase, so English naturally recasts it as “You have no need.”
In context — John 16:30
Now we are convinced that You know everything, and You have no need for anyone to ask You; on this basis we believe that You came out from God .
