Exegesis
The interrogative particle meti {Μήτι | Mḗti} coupled with ego {ἐγώ | egṓ} forms a question that grammatically anticipates a negative answer, revealing a blend of fear and hope in each speaker. In translation, the infinitival structure is rendered with finite verbs (“began to be grieved,” “began…to say” / “started… and said”) to produce natural English while preserving the aspectual sense of ongoing grief and repeated questioning, and the distributive phrase is expressed as “one after another” or “one by one” to retain the sequential nuance.
Root and etymology
mēmu–ēta
“not, by no means”
In context — Mark 14:19
They began to be grieved , and to say to Him , one after another, “Surely not I?”
