Exegesis
The direct question ho didaskalos humon ou telei ta didrachma {Ὁ διδάσκαλος ὑμῶν οὐ τελεῖ τὰ δίδραχμα | hô didáskalos humōn ou teleî ta dídrachma} ‘the teacher of you not pays the two-drachma tax’ uses the negative particle ou with telei to form a negative interrogative that expects affirmation of the payment obligation.
