Exegesis
Within the quotation, the vocative Kyrie {Κύριε | Ký-ri-e} marks respectful address to Jesus, followed by a deliberative question signaled by ei {εἰ | ei} plus the aorist subjunctive pataxomen {πατάξομεν | pa-tá-xo-men}, literally ‘if we should strike’, which in context is best rendered as “shall we strike” or “should we strike” to convey their request for permission.
