Matius 13:14
Konteks13:14 And concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
‘You will listen carefully 1 yet will never understand,
you will look closely 2 yet will never comprehend.
Matius 13:16
Konteks13:16 “But your eyes are blessed 3 because they see, and your ears because they hear.
[13:14] 1 tn Grk “with hearing,” a cognate dative that intensifies the action of the main verb “you will listen” (ExSyn 168-69).
[13:14] 2 tn Grk “look by looking.” The participle is redundant, functioning to intensify the force of the main verb.
[13:16] 3 sn This beatitude highlights the great honor bestowed on the disciples to share in this salvation.
