Exegesis
The dative pronoun autō {αὐτῷ | autō̂} precedes the main verb eipen {εἶπεν | eîpen}, forming a dative of indirect object, “said to Him,” and tightly linking the action of approach with direct address to Jesus.
In context — Matthew 19:16
And behold, one who had come to Him said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may have eternal life?”
