Exegesis
The aorist participle proselthon {προσελθὼν | pro-sel-thōn} introduces sequential action directed to the second son via the dative deutero {δευτέρῳ | deu-té-rō}, and the verb eipen {εἶπεν | ei-pen} initiates direct speech.
In context — Matthew 21:30
Then he went to the second and said the same. And he answered, “I, sir ,” but he did not go.
