Exegesis
This is followed by complementary infinitives: prathênai {πραθῆναι | prathênai} ‘to be sold’ taking coordinated objects (tḕn gynaîka {τὴν γυναῖκα | tḕn gynaîka} ‘the wife,’ tà tékna {τὰ τέκνα | tà tékna} ‘the children,’ and pánta hósa échei {πάντα ὅσα ἔχει | pánta hósa échei} ‘all that he has’) marked by repeated kaí {καὶ | kaí} ‘and,’ followed by apodothênai {ἀποδοθῆναι | apodothênai} ‘to be repaid’ signaling the intended outcome.
In context — Matthew 18:25
But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord ordered that he be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he owned, and that repayment be made.
