Exegesis
Within this subordinate clause, the aorist verb epoiesen {ἐποίησεν | e-poí-ē-sen} denotes a completed act, and its object is the articular aorist passive participle ta diatakhthenta {τὰ διαταχθέντα | tà di-a-takh-thén-ta}, literally “the things having been commanded,” summarizing the servant’s required duties. The contrast between the present tense “has gratitude” and the aorist “did” heightens the point: a master customarily does not extend special thanks merely because a servant has performed what was already commanded, reinforcing the larger context about humility and unmerited reward.
In context — Luke 17:9
Does he have gratitude toward the servant because he carried out the tasks that were commanded?
