Exegesis
Its direct object is the accusative phrase tas oikias tōn khērōn {τὰς οἰκίας τῶν χηρῶν | tàs oi-kí-as tôn khē-rô̄n} ‘the houses of widows’, with the genitive tōn khērōn marking possession and highlighting the vulnerability of the victims.
In context — Luke 20:47
Those who devour the houses of widows and, for a pretense , make long prayers—these will receive greater judgment .
