Exegesis
The genitive phrase tēs astheneias sou {τῆς ἀσθενείας σου | tês astheneías sou} specifies the burden from which she is freed—her own infirmity. In translation, the participle becomes a temporal clause (“when Jesus saw her”) and the perfect is rendered with “have been released” and “are set free” to reflect enduring results.

ἀσθενήςa-s-the-nḗ-s
