Exegesis
In the relative clause ho opheilomen poiēsai pepoiēkamen {ὃ ὠφείλομεν ποιῆσαι πεποιήκαμεν | hò ōpheílomen poiḗsai pepoiḗkamen}, the imperfect opheilomen conveys ongoing obligation, the infinitive poiēsai specifies the content (‘to do’), and the perfect pepoiēkamen asserts the completion of that duty. The aspectual shift emphasizes that fulfilling commands does not merit special reward; it simply meets what is owed.
Root and etymology
ποιέω
“to do, make”
In context — Luke 17:10
So you also, when you have done all that has been commanded you, say, “We are unworthy servants; we have done what we were obligated to do.”
