Exegesis
The direct speech is introduced without a quotation formula, moving straight into the interrogative clause Me kai humeis peplanesthe {Μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε | Mḕ kaí hy-meîs pe-plá-nē-sthe}.
The perfect passive indicative peplanesthe {πεπλάνησθε | pe-plá-nē-sthe} depicts the state of having been led astray with continuing effect, intensifying the Pharisees’ accusation. In the translations, the finite verb is rendered with “answered” or “answered/replied” to preserve the dialogical frame, and the question is cast in English direct speech with “Have you also been deceived?” and “Are you too being misled?” in order to retain both the incredulous tone signaled by Me and the ongoing impact implied by the perfect passive.
Root and etymology
planaopi–lambda–alpha–nu–alpha–omega
“to cause to wander, mislead, lead astray”
In context — John 7:47
