Exegesis
The final request erōtô se ékhe me paraitēménon {ἐρωτῶ σε ἔχε με παραιτημένον | erōtô se ékhe me paraitēménon} combines a polite entreaty with an imperative plus predicate participle, yielding the sense ‘please regard me as excused,’ preserving the courteous refusal.
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 .”
