Exegesis
The verse begins with the circumstantial participle apokritheis {ἀποκριθεὶς | apokritheís} ‘having answered’, temporally subordinate to the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen} ‘he said’.
Within the quotation, the adjective Makarios {μακάριος | makários} ‘blessed’ precedes the verb ei {εἶ | eî} ‘you are’ to emphasize divine favor.
In context — Matthew 16:17
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in the heavens.”
