Exegesis
Pothen autou estin huios {πόθεν αὐτοῦ ἐστιν υἱός | pó-then autoû es-tín huiós} introduces a logical riddle: the interrogative adverb pothen governs the whole clause, autou is a possessive genitive “his,” and huios serves as predicate nominative with estin, yielding, “from where or how is he his son?”
In context — Mark 12:37
David himself calls Him Lord , so how is He his Son? And the great crowd was listening to Him with delight.
