Exegesis
The verse opens with the aorist participle ekbalontes {ἐκβαλόντες | ekbalóntes} ‘having cast out’, which is adverbial and temporally antecedent to the main aorist indicative apekteinan {ἀπέκτειναν | apékteinan} ‘they killed’.
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?
