καιρῷ means the fruit season each year; many such seasons at which God sent demanding fruit. ἵνα δώσουσιν : ἵνα with the future in a pure final clause; similar constructions occur in classic Greek, but with ὅπως, not with ἵνα. δείραντες : the gradation in indignities is well marked in Lk. beating, beating with shameful handling (ἀτιμάσαντες), ejection with wounding (τραυματίσαντες ἐξέβαλον), culminating in murder in the case of the son. In the parallels killing comes in sooner, which is true to the historical fact.
