Exegesis
The verse begins with the narrative marker kai eipen {καὶ εἶπεν | kaí eî-pen} introducing direct speech, immediately followed by the emphatic particle Amēn {Ἀμὴν | Amḗn} ‘truly’ that intensifies the ensuing declaration legō hymin {λέγω ὑμῖν | lég-ō hymîn} ‘I say to you.’
In context — Matthew 18:3
And He said, “Truly I say to you, unless you turn and become like children , you shall certainly not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.”
