Exegesis
The direct discourse opens with the interrogative ti {Τί | tí} placed first for emphasis, forming a rhetorical question with the object me {με | mé} and the present indicative legeis {λέγεις | lé-geis}, so that ti me legeis ‘Why do you call Me’ foregrounds the addressee’s evaluative language.
