Exegesis
The adverb houtōs {οὕτως | hoútōs} ‘thus’ signals a typological comparison leading into a future apodosis introduced by the future estai {ἔσται | éstai} ‘will be’, confirming that the parousia {παρουσία | parousía} ‘coming’ of the Son of Man {υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου | huiou tou anthropou} will be equally sudden and unexpected.
