Exegesis
The predicate adjective makarioi {μακάριοι | ma-ká-ri-oi} stands in the nominative masculine plural with the article hoi {οἱ | hoi} and the noun ophthalmoi {ὀφθαλμοὶ | oph-thal-moí} “eyes,” forming the sense “your eyes are blessed,” with the verb “to be” implied.
In context — Matthew 13:16
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
