Exegesis
The construction kaí ékhō anánkēn {καὶ ἔχω ἀνάγκην | kaí ékhō anánkēn} ‘and I have a necessity’ stresses ongoing compulsion, with the participial phrase exelthṓn ideîn autón {ἐξελθὼν ἰδεῖν αὐτόν | exelthṓn ideîn autón} indicating purpose ‘to go out and see it.’
In context — Luke 14:18
And they all began at once to excuse themselves. The first said to him, “I have bought a field, and I must go out to see it; I ask you, consider me excused .”
