Exegesis
The nominal clause ho hagios tou theou {ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ θεοῦ | ho há-gios tou the-oû} functions as a Christological title, with the substantive adjective and genitive indicating divine consecration. The progression from confrontation to confession is mirrored in the structure and preserved in translation.
