Greek Commentary for Matthew 21:41
The paronomasia or assonance is very clear. A common idiom in literary Greek. “He will put the wretches to a wretched death” (Weymouth). [source]
Who, which very ones of a different character. [source]
There is a play upon the words which the A. V. misses and the Rev. preserves by rendering “miserably destroy those miserable men.” So the Rheims version: “Thenaughty men will he bring to naught. ” Tynd., “He will evil destroy those evil persons.” The order of the Greek words is also striking: Miserable men, miserably he will destroy them. [source]
The compound Greek pronoun marks the character of the new husbandmen more distinctly than the simple which; husbandmen of such a character that, or belonging to that class of honest men who will give him his due. [source]

The compound pronoun ὅστις , which, is used explicatively, according to a familiar New Testament usage, instead of the simple relative. The sense is, seeing that he is dead. The compound relative properly indicates the class or kind to which an object belongs. Art thou greater than Abraham, who is himself one of the dead? So Colossians 3:5. “Mortify covetousness, seeing it is ( ἥτις ἐστὶν ) idolatry.” See on Matthew 13:52; see on Matthew 21:41; see on Mark 12:18; see on Luke 12:1; see on Acts 7:53; see on Acts 10:41; see on 1 Peter 2:11.
