hôs AN-thrô-pos a-PO-dê-mos a-PHEIS tên oi-KEE-an au-TOU KAI DOUS tois DOU-lois au-TOU tên ek-sou-SEE-an he-KAS-tôi to ER-gon au-TOU KAI tôi thy-rô-RÔI e-ne-TEI-la-to HI-na grê-go-RÊI
Exegesis
The direct object of apheis is the phrase ten oikian autou {τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ | tḕn oi-kí-an au-toû}, emphasizing his own household.
The participle dous governs a complex dative structure: tois doulois autou {τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ | toîs doû-lois au-toû} as recipients, with ten exousian {τὴν ἐξουσίαν | tḕn ex-ou-sí-an} as the object bestowed.
In context — Mark 13:34
Just like a man traveling abroad, who left his own house and gave authority to his servants, to each his work , and to the doorkeeper he commanded that he should keep watch .
