Exegesis
The narrative then resumes with legousin auto {λέγουσιν αὐτῷ | lé-gou-sin au-tô} “they say to Him,” using the present tense for vividness, and their concise response dynametha {Δυνάμεθα | Dy-ná-me-tha} “we are able” reveals confident but naïve self-assurance. The English rendering maintains the sequence of challenge and response, preserving the rhetorical force of the questions and the metaphorical nuance of the “cup.”
In context — Matthew 20:22
But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They say to Him, “We are able.”
