Exegesis
The participle legon {λέγων | lé-gōn} ‘saying’ introduces the direct question, opened by the idiomatic ti soi dokei {Τί σοι δοκεῖ | Tí soi do-keî} ‘what does it seem to you’, here rendered as “what do you think” or “what is your view,” inviting Simon {Σίμων | Sí-mōn} to reflect.
In context — Matthew 17:25
He said, “Yes.” When he entered the house, Jesus spoke to him first and said, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect custom or tribute—from their own sons, or from others?”
