Matthew 13:13-14

Context
13:13 For this reason I speak to them in parables: Although they see they do not see, and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand. 13:14 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.

1 tn Grk “with hearing,” a cognate dative that intensifies the action of the main verb “you will listen” (ExSyn 168-69).

2 tn Grk “look by looking.” The participle is redundant, functioning to intensify the force of the main verb.
