KAI ka-THÔS mō-y-SÊS HY-psō-sen TON O-phin en TÊI e-RÊ-mō HOU-tōs HY-psō-THÊ-nai DEI TON hyi-ON TOU an-THRÔ-pou
Exegesis
`Mōusēs {Μωϋσῆς | Mōusēs}` is the explicit subject of the aorist action `hypsōsen {ὕψωσεν | hypsōsen}`, and `ton ophin {τὸν ὄφιν | tón óphin}` is the direct object.
`Ton huion tou anthrōpou {τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | tón huíon tou anthrōpou}` stands as the subject of the infinitive; the passive voice leaves the agent unstated, which keeps the focus on the event itself and allows the saying to carry both suffering and exaltation at once. The sentence therefore reads as typological parallelism: a historical lifting in the wilderness becomes the pattern for the necessary lifting of the Son of Man.
In context — John 3:14
And just as Moses raised the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be raised aloft .
