Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi te se eucharistia {ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εὐχαριστίᾳ | e-pì tē̂ sē̂ eu-kha-ris-tíāi} ‘at your thanksgiving’ marks the precise liturgical moment when the response would be expected.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:16
For if you bless with the spirit , how will the one occupying the place of the unlearned say the Amen at your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying?
