Exegesis
The aorist participle strapheis {στραφεὶς | stra-pheìs} “having turned” precedes the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen}, forming a participial clause that signals a swift physical motion.
In context — Matthew 16:23
But He turned and said to Peter, “Go behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, because you are not mindful of the things of God , but of the things of people.”
