Exegesis
The subject ho kenturion {ὁ κεντυρίων | ken-tu-rí-ōn} ‘the centurion’ is modified by the perfect participle parestēkōs {παρεστηκὼς | pa-re-stē-kṓs} ‘who was standing’, emphasizing his continued presence.
The confession is a subject–predicate clause with houtos ho anthrōpos {οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος | hoû-tos ho án-thrō-pos} ‘this man’ as the subject and huios theou ēn {υἱὸς θεοῦ ἦν | hui-ós the-oû ēn} ‘was Son of God’ as predicate, the anarthrous huios indicating a titular designation. In translation, participles render as finite verbs to produce natural English while preserving the Christological force of “Son of God.”
