Exegesis
The construction ou chreian echousin {οὐ χρείαν ἔχουσιν | oú khreían ékhousin} ‘they have no need’ combines a negative particle with a noun-object chreian {χρείαν | khreían} governed by echousin {ἔχουσιν | ékhousin}.
In context — Matthew 9:12
But when He heard, He said, “Those who are well need no physician, but those who are ill.”
