Exegesis
The prepositional phrase en emoi {ἐν ἐμοί | en e-moí} literally reads “in Me,” but in context with a verb of doing a work toward a person it functions idiomatically as “for Me” or “to Me,” expressing that the good work is directed to Jesus Himself. In translation, the imperative and interrogative forces are preserved, and the idiomatic en emoi is rendered “for Me” to communicate relational direction without awkwardness in English.
In context — Mark 14:6
But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why do you cause her trouble ? She has done a good work for Me.”
