Exegesis
The main clause ho hēlios skotisthēsetai {ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται | ho hḗ-li-os sko-tis-thḗ-se-tai} ‘the sun will be darkened’ uses a future passive indicative, portraying the darkening as an event imposed on the sun rather than something it initiates, fitting apocalyptic imagery where creation responds to divine action.
In context — Mark 13:24
But in those days, after that tribulation , the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light ,
