In Luke 9:20:  Why is TON XRISTON TOU THEOU in the accusative?  Shouldn't it
be nominative because of the unspoken "You are......."

TON XRISTON is in the accusative, to agree with the TINA in the preceeding
phrase:

τίνα με λέγετε εἶναι;
TINA ME LEGETE EINAI;

To rearrange the word order:
ME LEGETE EINAI TON XRISTON TOU THEOU.
You say me to be the Christ of God.
