Exegesis
The temporal conjunction heos hou {ἕως οὗ | héōs hoû} introduces a restricting clause, ho huios tou anthropou ek nekron egerthe {ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγερθῇ | ho huiòs toû anthrṓpou ek nekrṓn egerthḗ}, where the subjunctive passive projects the future divine act of resurrection. The English preserves the genitive absolute as a temporal clause and renders the subjunctive with completed future reference to the resurrection.
In context — Matthew 17:9
On their way down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”
