Exegesis
The aorist participle homósas {ὁμόσας | homósas} ‘having sworn’ functions substantively as “the one who swears,” modified by the locative phrase en tō naō {ἐν τῷ ναῷ | en tōi naō̂} ‘in the temple’, indicating the context of oath-taking.
In context — Matthew 23:21
And the one who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
