Bert, your initial translation would be incorrect becuase KURIOS is a
predicate nominative referring to hO hUIOS TOU ANQRWPOU. In other words, the
Son of man is Lord. KURIOS is nominative here, not genitive. hO hUIOS is
the subject here used with the genitives TOU ANQRWPOU and TOU SABBATOU, and
thus KURIOS as the predicate nominative refers to the Son of man as Lord of
the Sabbath. Best,

> I first translated this verse as follows: So the Son is lord of man and of
the Sabbath. Then I recognized the passage and I realized that it was: So
the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath.
> I can see that hUIOS TOU ANQRWPOU logically belong together but I don't
know a grammatical rule why my first translation is wrong. What would the
Greek look like if it meant; So the Son is lord of man and of the Sabbath.
