Exegesis
The interrogative challenge is expressed through the negative aorist indicative ouk anegnōte {Οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε | Ouk anégnōte} ‘have you not read’, a rhetorical question presuming familiarity with Scripture and emphasizing the authority of the written text.
In context — Matthew 19:4
But He answered and said, “Have you not read that the One who created them from the beginning made them male and female ?”
