Homer:

δοκέεις δέ μοι οὐκ ἀπινύσσειν Od.5.342
DOKEEIS DE MOI OUK APINUSSEIN Od.5.342

Sophocles
Ajax
594 {ΑΙ.} Μῶρά μοι δοκεῖς φρονεῖν,
595 εἰ τοὐμὸν ἦθος ἄρτι παιδεύειν νοεῖς. 

O.T.  
401 Κλαίων δοκεῖς μοι καὶ σὺ χὠ συνθεὶς τάδε
ἁγηλατήσειν· εἰ δὲ μὴ 'δόκεις γέρων
εἶναι, παθὼν ἔγνως ἂν οἷά περ φρονεῖς.   

The second person singular DOKEIS with MOI w/ :or: w/o infinitive doesn't seem to be a New Testament idiom, and for that reason I spent some time pondering it yesterday. It is common in Greek prior to Koine.
