kai TO-te OP-so-ntai ton hy-ON tou an-THRÔ-pou er-KHO-me-non en ne-PHE-lais me-TA dy-NA-me-ōs pol-LÊS kai DO-ksēs
Exegesis
The verse begins with kai tote {καὶ τότε | kaí tó-te} “and then,” a temporal connector that links this description to the preceding eschatological sequence.
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.
