Exegesis
The directional phrase eis ton ampelona autou {εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα αὐτοῦ | eis ton am-pe-lō-na au-toû} uses eis with the accusative to indicate movement into a specific location, with autou marking possession of the vineyard. In English, the participial construction is rendered as a temporal clause (“after having agreed / after he agreed”) to make the sequence of events clear while preserving the sense of prior agreement that governs the ensuing action of sending.
