Will He kill Himself [μ η τ ι α π ο κ τ ε ν ε ι ε α υ τ ο ν] ? The mockery in these words is alike subtle and bitter. The interrogative particle, mhti, signifies surely He will not by any chance kill Himself; and the sense of the whole clause is, He will not surely go where we cannot reach Him, unless perchance He should kill Himself; and as that would insure His going to Gehenna, of course we could not go to Him there. The remark displays alike the scorn and the self - righteousness of the speakers.
