Exegesis
The participle legon {λέγων | légōn} ‘saying’ introduces the content of his appeal, which is expressed by the aorist imperative Makrothymeson {Μακροθύμησον | Makrothýmēson} ‘have patience’ and the prepositional phrase ep emoi {ἐπ’ ἐμοί | ep emoí} ‘with me’.
In context — Matthew 18:26
Therefore the servant , having fallen down, was prostrating himself before him, saying, “Have patience with me, and I will repay everything to you.”
