Matthew 13:16

13:16 “But your eyes are blessed ¹  because they see, and your ears because they hear.

Matthew 11:5

11:5 The blind see, the ²  lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them.

Matthew 13:13

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.

[13:16]  ¹ sn This beatitude highlights the great honor bestowed on the disciples to share in this salvation.

[11:5]  ² tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more. Two other conjunctions are omitted in this series.
