Exegesis
The question mē ti prosphagion echete {μή τι προσφάγιον ἔχετε | mē ti pros-phá-gi-on é-khe-te} uses mē to expect a negative answer, while ti softens the inquiry and prosphagion points to something ready to eat. English naturally reshapes the Greek order to preserve both the negative force and the conversational tone.
In context — John 21:5
Jesus therefore said to them, “Children , do you not have any food?” They answered Him, “No.”
