why? for what reason? an interrogative reference to reason The expression τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί (literally ‘what for me and you?’) in JHN 2:4 is an adage meaning ‘for what reason are you saying or doing this to me?’ In some languages it may be preferable to translate JHN 2:4 as ‘why do you ask me this?’ In MRK 1:24 one may translate ‘what do you want with us?’

P Lond 425 (B.c. 168) (= I. p. 30, UPZ i. p. 300, Selections, p. 10) μὴ ὅτι ye τοσούτου χρόνον ἐπιγεγονότος, “not to speak of so much time having gone by”: see Proleg. p. 240. J. H.
