Exegesis
The verse begins with a negative rhetorical frame, oukh hymeis legete {οὐχ ὑμεῖς λέγετε | oukh hy-meis le-ge-te}, which assumes a familiar saying and turns it into a challenge rather than a request for information.
In context — John 4:35
Is this not what you say: “There are still four months, and then the harvest comes”? Look, I say to you, raise your eyes and survey the fields, because they are already white for harvest .
