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.
Root and etymology
παραίτ-
“to ask aside, excuse”
In context — Luke 14:19
