Oh say can you see to affirm or deny

Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [kjv]

εφη αυτω ο ιησους παλιν γεγραπται ουκ εκπειρασεις κυριον τον θεον σου [gnt]

Ancient Greek had many words that mean "say". One word for "say" had the associated meaning that one was, depending on context, affirming or denying. What is affirmed or denied should be determined from context.

One form of the word has an interesting potential play on word meaning.
