Exegesis
The adverb exō {ἔξω | éxō} specifies removal to the outside of the space marked by the genitive phrase tou ampelōnos {τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος | toû ampelônos}, ‘of the vineyard’.
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.
