SIBI-P1 Translation G3708-15

he has seen

Morphological NotesVerb; perfect tense, active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular — denotes a completed action with continuing result.
Rendering RationaleThe perfect active indicative expresses a completed act of seeing with present result, thus "has seen." This preserves the primary root sense of physical sight while allowing for the extended sense of perception inherent in ὁράω.
