Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces a causal clause, explaining the ground for this delegated authority: huios anthrōpou estin {υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν | huiós anthrṓpou estín} ‘He is the Son of Man’. Within this clause, huios anthrōpou functions as a predicate nominative identifying the subject implied in estin. The definite, title-like use of huios anthrōpou ‘Son of Man’ evokes the figure of Daniel 7, so that the syntax directly links the Son’s eschatological identity with His right to judge. In translation, the fronting of “authority” is preserved for emphasis, the infinitive phrase is rendered as “to execute judgment” or “to judge” to reflect judicial function, and the title “Son of Man” is retained rather than paraphrased, to preserve its established theological weight.
