Exegesis
The two aorist indicative verbs hybrisan kai apekteinan {ὕβρισαν καὶ ἀπέκτειναν | hý-bri-san kaí a-pék-tei-nan} are coordinated with kai, forming a compressed sequence of escalating hostility: first abusive outrage, then outright killing. In translation, the participle is rendered with an English “having seized” in the formal version to keep the temporal-circumstantial nuance, while the dynamic version uses “grabbed” to convey immediacy and physical aggression. The order of actions is preserved to maintain the narrative intensification from seizing, to abuse, to execution, which underlines the depth of rejection of the king’s claim mediated through his servants.
In context — Matthew 22:6
But the rest , having seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them.
