Exegesis
The question clause ti agathon poiēsō {τί ἀγαθὸν ποιήσω | tí agathón poiḗsō} fronts the interrogative pronoun ti and its modifying adjective agathon, placing emphasis on the quality “good” as the focus of the man’s concern, with the aorist subjunctive poiēsō expressing contemplated, decisive action.
In context — Matthew 19:16
And behold, one who had come to Him said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may have eternal life?”
