Exegesis
The nominative phrase ho huios sou {ὁ υἱός σου | ho hui-ós sou} “your son” functions as the complement of the imperative, presenting a new relational assignment. In translation, the participial construction is rendered as “seeing” in the formal version and “when He saw” in the dynamic version to represent the temporal nuance naturally, while the placement of “Woman” and “your son” at the end of the sentence preserves the climactic emotional focus of the Greek.
