Exegesis
The third clause introduces a new subject, tekna {τέκνα | tékna} ‘children’, with the middle verb epanastesontai {ἐπαναστήσονται | epanastḗsontai} ‘will rise up’, and the prepositional phrase epi goneis {ἐπὶ γονεῖς | epí goneîs} ‘against parents’, marking adversarial direction.
In context — Mark 13:12
And brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father a child, and children will rise up against parents and will put them to death.
