“And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.”
Jesus answered him, Simon, I have something to tell you. Tell me, teacher, he said — Jesus' reply to the unspoken thought communicates the same awareness of the inward as the paralytic scene (5:22) and the Capernaum exorcism (4:34). The addressing of Simon by name is personal and direct. The tell me, teacher (didaskalos) is Simon's polite invitation — he does not yet know what is coming.
