Exegesis
The future indicative poiēsei {ποιήσει | poiḗsei} ‘will do’ functions as the main verb of this question, with ho kyrios tou ampelōnos {ὁ κύριος τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος | ho kýrios toû ampelônos} as its nominative subject and autois {αὐτοῖς | autoîs} as the dative of disadvantage, ‘to them’. The genitive tou ampelōnos in both occurrences marks the relationship of possession between the master and the vineyard. In translation, the participial construction is rendered as a temporal clause in the formal version (“after they had cast him out”) to preserve aspectual sequencing, while the dynamic version uses coordinated past verbs (“threw him out and killed him”) to present a smoother narrative flow in contemporary English.
In context — Luke 20:15
And after they had cast him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
