Exegesis
The verse consists of two parallel rhetorical questions introduced by the negated formula ouk exestin {οὐκ ἔξεστίν | oûk éx-es-tin} “is it not permitted,” asserting the speaker’s unquestioned authority.
In context — Matthew 20:15
Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my possessions ? Or is your eye evil because I am good?
