Exegesis
The emphatic negation ouchi {οὐχὶ | oukhì} introduces a sequence of three present indicative verbs—haptei {ἅπτει | háptei}, saroi {σαροῖ | sarôi}, and zetei {ζητεῖ | zētêi}—depicting immediate, habitual actions.
In context — Luke 15:8
Or what woman, if she has ten drachmas and loses one, does she not light a lamp , sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
