Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the aorist imperative eipate {εἴπατέ | eípate} ‘tell’, and the dative moi {μοι | moi} marks the speaker as the one who must receive the reply. Together, the future declaration plus the imperative create a dialogical challenge: He will pose a question, and they are obligated to respond, underscoring His rhetorical control of the encounter.
In context — Luke 20:3
And He answered them, “I will also ask you a question ; now tell me.”
