Exegesis
The predicate nominative construction theou huios {θεοῦ υἱὸς | theoû huiòs} with ei {εἶ | eî} yields “You are Son of God,” and the absence of the article before huios underscores Son as a title. In translation, word order is smoothed into subject–verb–object, and the term prosekynesan is rendered with bodily reverence to reflect both posture and devotion.
Root and etymology
egeirōepsilon–gamma–epsilon–iota–rho–omega
“to raise up, awaken”
In context — Matthew 14:33
And those in the boat worshiped Him , saying, “Truly You are the Son of God .”
