Exegesis
The indirect object autō {αὐτῷ | au-tô} ‘to him’ precedes the explicit subject ho neaniskos {ὁ νεανίσκος | ho ne-a-nís-kos} ‘the young man,’ producing the word order “he says to him, the young man,” which momentarily foregrounds the addressee (Jesus) before clarifying the speaker.
In context — Matthew 19:20
The young man said to Him , “All these things I have kept ; what do I still lack?”
