This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

How is it that I hear this (τί τοῦτο ἀκούω)

Better as Rev., What is this that I hear?

Give an account (ἀπόδος τὸν λόγον)

Lit., “give back” (ἀπό). Rev., render. The (τὸν) account which is due. Aristophanes has a striking parallel: “And now give back my signet; for thou shalt no longer be my steward” (“Knights,” 947).

Thou mayest (δυνήσῃ)

More strictly, as Rev., thou canst.
