Exegesis
The verb eichen {εἶχέν | eî-chen} takes tis {τις | tis} as subject, “a certain one,” and the locative en to ampeloni autou {ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνι αὐτοῦ | en tô am-pe-lô-ni au-toû} identifies “his vineyard.”
In context — Luke 13:6
Then He spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it but found none.”
