Exegesis
The article ho {Ὁ | ho} with the noun kyrios {κύριος | kú-ri-os} ‘Lord’ identifies the owner, and the genitive auton {αὐτῶν | au-tō̂n} ‘of them’ denotes possession of the animals.
In context — Matthew 21:3
And if anyone says anything to you, you shall reply, “The Lord has need of them,” and he will send them immediately.
