I say to you
Jesus readdresses his audience to mark a shift in his speech to a new topic, in this case, to speak about confession.
everyone who confesses me before men
What is confessed can be stated clearly. Alternate translation: "whoever tells others that he is my disciple" or "anyone who acknowledges before others that he is loyal to me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
the Son of Man
Jesus is referring to himself. Alternate translation: "I, the Son of Man"
