Exegesis
The title ho huiós tou anthrṓpou {ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | ho huiós tou anthrṓpou} ‘the Son of Man’ functions as the subject of the participial clause elthṓn {ἐλθὼν | elthṓn} ‘having come,’ with the interrogative particle ā́ra {ἆρα | ā́ra} introducing the rhetorical question heurḗsei {εὑρήσει | heurḗsei} ‘will he find.’

In context — Luke 18:8
