Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ap’ ekeinēs tēs hēmeras {ἀπʼ ἐκείνης τῆς ἡμέρας | ap’ ekeín-ēs tês hēmér-as} ‘from that day’ marks the turning point before which eperōtēsai {ἐπερωτῆσαι | e-per-ō-tḗ-sai} ‘to ask’ with the accusative pronoun auton {αὐτόν | au-tón} ‘him’ is negated by ouketi {οὐκέτι | ou-ké-ti} ‘no longer’. The Greek syntax thus juxtaposes rhetorical incapacity with complete cessation of questioning, conveying the utter defeat of Jesus’ challengers.
