The subject ho huios tou anthropou {ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | ho huiós toû an-thrṓ-pou} follows the predicate, marking the figure who exercises this authority. Greek word order highlights the surprising claim that the Son of Man holds sovereignty over the Sabbath. In the formal rendering, gar is translated “For” to preserve the traditional connective, while in the dynamic, it is “Because” to foreground the explanatory role of the statement.
