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.
The adverb hōsautōs {ὡσαύτως | hō-sau-tōs} indicates repetition of the prior request, while the article ho {ὁ | ho} combined with de {δὲ | dè} transitions to the participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | a-po-kri-thè-is}, leading into the second instance of eipen {εἶπεν | ei-pen}.
