Exegesis

The list of provisions—hoi tauroi mou {οἱ ταῦροί μου | hoî tau-roí mou} "my oxen" and ta sitista {τὰ σιτιστὰ | tà si-ti-stà} "the fattened animals"—are described by the perfect passive participle tethymena {τεθυμένα | te-thy-mé-na} "slaughtered," joined by kai {καὶ | kaì} and culminating in panta hetoima {πάντα ἕτοιμα | pán-ta hé-toi-ma} "all things ready."

In context — Matthew 22:4

Again, he sent other servants, saying, "Say to those who are invited, 'Look, my meal is prepared; my oxen and the fattened animals have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.'"
