Exegesis
The prepositional phrase pros tous geōrgous {πρὸς τοὺς γεωργοὺς | pròs toùs ge-ōr-gòus} ‘to the farmers’ indicates the recipients, and the infinitive labein {λαβεῖν | la-beîn} ‘to receive’ expresses purpose, with tous karpous autou {τοὺς καρποὺς αὐτοῦ | toùs kar-poùs au-toû} ‘his fruits’ as its object. This structure highlights the owner’s authority and the intentional dispatch of his agents to collect produce.
In context — Matthew 21:34
When the season for fruit drew near, he dispatched his servants to the farmers to gather his produce.
