Exegesis
The verb elábete {ἐλάβετε | e-lá-be-te} in aorist active indicative second person plural appears at the end, typical for Greek questions, giving the phrase its interrogative force within its context. Overall, the Greek structure uses coordinated object phrases and a final verb position to emphasize the concrete details of the preceding miracle.
In context — Matthew 16:10
Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets did you pick up?
