Exegesis
The particle isos {ἴσως | í-sōs} ‘perhaps’ introduces a clause of contingency, and touton {τοῦτον | toû-tón} ‘this one’ functions cataphorically, pointing back to the just-mentioned son.
In context — Luke 20:13
Then the lord of the vineyard said, “What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.”
