Exegesis
The following prepositional phrase meta dunameos polles kai doxes {μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς καὶ δόξης | me-tá du-ná-me-ōs pol-lês kaí dóx-ēs} “with great power and glory” uses genitives to express the quality and accompanying attributes of this coming, pairing “power” and “glory” to portray overwhelming, royal, and divine majesty. In English, the basic clause order is preserved, but the phrasing is smoothed so that the main verb and object appear early, with the participial and prepositional phrases following as a descriptive cluster that builds toward the climactic depiction of power and glory.
In context — Mark 13:26
And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory .
