Exegesis
The core of the rebuke is framed as a rhetorical question beginning with the negated clause Ou dia touto planasthe {Οὐ διὰ τοῦτο πλανᾶσθε | Ou diá toû-to pla-nâs-the} ‘Is it not for this reason that you are going astray?’. The fronted negative particle Ou gives the question a corrective, confrontational force, assuming that the hearers in fact are in error.
In context — Mark 12:24
Jesus said to them, “Are you not mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God ?”
