Exegesis
The participle legon {λέγων | lé-gōn} ‘saying’ introduces the quotation, culminating in the future passive entrapēsontai {Ἐντραπήσονται | en-tra-pḗ-son-tai} ‘they will be put to shame,’ which idiomatically signifies that the tenants will show respect.
In context — Matthew 21:37
But afterward he sent to them his son , saying, “They will respect my son.”
