Exegesis
The nominative noun anthropos {ἄνθρωπος | án-thrō-pos} “man” is the subject of the imperfect verb eichen {εἶχεν | êi-khen} “had,” taking tekna dyo {τέκνα δύο | ték-na dý-o} “two children” as its accusative object.
In context — Matthew 21:28
But what do you think? A man had two children. He came to the first and said, “Son, go today and work in the vineyard.”
