Exegesis
The verse begins with the nominative subject Iesous oun idon {Ἰησοῦς οὖν ἰδὼν | Iē-soûs oun i-dṓn}, where the aorist participle idon functions as a circumstantial participle preceding the main verb, giving background action “having seen” that leads into the main declaration.
In context — John 19:26
Therefore Jesus , seeing His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, says to His mother, “Woman, behold, your son.”
