Exegesis
The verb prosetheto {προσέθετο | pros-É-the-to} takes the complementary infinitive pempsai {πέμψαι | PÉM-psai}, forming the idiomatic expression “he added to send,” which conveys the idea of sending yet another servant.
In context — Luke 20:12
And he added a third to send; but they also wounded this one and cast him out.
