Exegesis
The construction doulon ekhōn arotriōnta ē poimainonta {δοῦλον ἔχων ἀροτριῶντα ἢ ποιμαίνοντα | doû-lon é-khōn a-ro-tri-ônta ē poi-maí-non-ta} consists of a head noun “servant” modified by the nominative participle ekhōn ‘having’ and two accusative participles that specify the servant’s typical work (plowing or shepherding).
In context — Luke 17:7
But which of you, having a servant who is plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he comes in from the field, “Come immediately and recline ”?
