Exegesis
The hoti clause {ὅτι | hóti} explains the accusation in full: sy anthropos on poieis seauton theon {σὺ ἄνθρωπος ὢν ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν θεόν | sý ánthrōpos ōn poieîs seautón theón}.
Within that clause, anthropos on {ἄνθρωπος ὢν | ánthrōpos ōn} states visible humanity, while the reflexive construction seauton theon {σεαυτὸν θεόν | seautón theón} heightens the charge by making the claim about Jesus' own self-identification rather than a misunderstanding about another person. The translation preserves the legal and theological force of the sentence by keeping the contrast explicit and by rendering the final accusation directly rather than softening it.
