Exegesis
The direct quotation begins with a negated assertion, Ouk oidate {Οὐκ οἴδατε | ouk oî-da-te} “you do not know,” which challenges the disciples’ understanding, followed by the object clause introduced by ti {τί | tí} “what” and completed by aiteisthe {αἰτεῖσθε | ai-teîs-the} “you are asking,” presenting their request as misguided.
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.”
