Exegesis
The direct object of this sending is tous angelous autou {τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ | toús angé-lous autoû}, where the possessive pronoun autou binds the angels to the authority of the Son of Man.
The prepositional phrase ek tes basileias autou {ἐκ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ | ek tês ba-si-leí-as autoû} specifies the source from which the gathering occurs, indicating a purifying removal from within the Son of Man’s own kingdom.
In context — Matthew 13:41
The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks and those who practice lawlessness.
