Exegesis
The polite formula erōtō se {ἐρωτῶ σε | e-rō-tô se} ‘I ask you’ introduces a request, realized by the imperative eche {ἔχε | é-khe} ‘have’, with the perfect passive participle pareitemenon {παρῃτημένον | pa-rē-tē-mé-non} ‘having been excused’ expressing the desired status of release from obligation. The translation renders participles and infinitives into natural English while preserving the sequential logic of the Greek.
In context — Luke 14:19
And another said, “I bought five yoke-pairs of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you, have me excused .”
