Exegesis
Finally, the accusative phrase chronous hikanous {χρόνους ἱκανούς | khrónous hikanoús} ‘considerable periods’ specifies the length of the owner’s absence, an idiom rendered as “for a considerable time” and “for a long stretch” to communicate the extended duration implied by the Greek. The formal rendering follows the parabolic framing closely, while the dynamic version reshapes the syntax slightly to reflect natural narrative flow in contemporary English.
In context — Luke 20:9
And He began to speak this parable to the people: “A man planted a vineyard and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time .”
