“to have sight,” is used of bodily vision, e.g., Mat 11:4<\/span>; and mental, e.g., Mat 13:13-14<\/span>; it is said of God the Father in Mat 6:4<\/span>, Mat 6:6<\/span>, Mat 6:18<\/span>; of Christ as “seeing” what the Father doeth, Joh 5:19<\/span>. It especially stresses the thought of the person who “sees.” For the various uses see BEHOLD, No. 2; see Note below. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n with the form eidon, serving for its aorist tense, and opsomai, for its future tense (Middle Voice), denotes “to see,” of bodily vision, e.g., Joh 6:36<\/span>; and mental, e.g., Mat 8:4<\/span>; it is said of Christ as “seeing” the Father, Joh 6:46<\/span>, and of what He had “seen” with the Father, Joh 8:38<\/span>. It especially indicates the direction of the thought to the object “seen.” See BEHOLD, No. 1. <\/p>\n Note: “Horao and blepo both denote the physical act: horao, in general, blepo, the single look; horao gives prominence to the discerning mind, blepo to the particular mood or point. When the physical side recedes, horao denotes perception in general (as resulting principally from vision) … Blepo, on the other hand, when its physical side recedes, gets a purely outward sense, look (open, incline) towards [as of a situation]” (Schmidt, Grimm-Thayer). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n with apeidon serving as the aorist tense, “to look away from one thing so as to see another” (apo, “from,” and No. 2), as in Heb 12:2<\/span>, simply means “to see” in Phi 2:23<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n lit., “to look down” (kata, and No.2), denotes “to discern clearly,” Rom 1:20<\/span>, “are clearly seen.” In the Sept., Num 24:2<\/span>; Job 10:4<\/span>; Job 39:26<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to see clearly” (dia, “through,” and No. 1), is used in Mat 7:5<\/span>; Luk 6:42<\/span>; in Mar 8:25<\/span>, RV, “he looked steadfastly” (No. 6 is used in the next clause; No. 1 in Mar 8:24<\/span>, and No. 2 in the last part). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to look at” (en, “in,” and No. 1), used of earnestly looking, is translated “saw” in Mar 8:25<\/span> (last part); “could (not) see” in Act 22:11<\/span>. See BEHOLD, No. 3. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to look up,” is translated “see,” of the blind, in Luk 7:22<\/span>, AV (RV, “receive their sight”). See SIGHT. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to view attentively, to see with admiration, desire, or regard,” stresses more especially the action of the person beholding, as with No. 1, in contrast to No. 2; it is used in Mat 11:7<\/span> (RV, “to behold”), while idein, the infinitive of eidon (see under No. 2), is used in the questions in the next two verses; in Mat 11:7<\/span> the interest in the onlooker is stressed, in Mat 11:8-9<\/span>, the attention is especially directed to the object “seen.” The verb is translated “to see” in the AV and RV of Mat 6:1<\/span>; Mar 16:11<\/span>, Mar 16:14<\/span>; Joh 6:5<\/span>; Act 8:18<\/span> (in some mss.); Act 21:27<\/span>; Rom 15:24<\/span>; elsewhere, for the AV, “to see,” the RV uses the verb “to behold” bringing out its force more suitably, See BEHOLD, No. 8. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n denotes “to be a spectator of,” indicating the careful perusal of details in the object; it points especially, as in No. 1, to the action of the person beholding, e.g., Mat 28:1<\/span>; the RV frequently renders it by “to behold,” for the AV, “to see,” e.g., Joh 14:17<\/span>, Joh 14:19<\/span>; Joh 16:10<\/span>, Joh 16:16-17<\/span>, Joh 16:19<\/span>. The difference between this verb and Nos. 1 and 2 is brought out in Joh 20:5-6<\/span>, Joh 20:8<\/span>; in Joh 20:5<\/span> blepo is used of John’s sight of the linen cloths in the tomb, without his entering in; he “saw” at a glance the Lord was not there; in Joh 20:6<\/span> the closer contemplation by Peter is expressed in the verb theoreo. But in Joh 20:8<\/span> the grasping by John of the significance of the undisturbed cloths is denoted by eidon (see No. 2, and see WRAP). <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to be short-sighted” (muo, “to shut,” ops, “the eye;” cp. Eng., “myopy,” “myopic:” the root mu signifies a sound made with closed lips, e.g., in the words “mutter,” “mute”), occurs in 2Pe 1:9<\/span>, RV, “seeing only what is near” (AV, “and cannot see afar off”); this does not contradict the preceding word “blind,” it qualifies it; he of whom it is true is blind in that he cannot discern spiritual things, he is near-sighted in that he is occupied in regarding worldly affairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to cause to appear,” and in the Passive Voice, “to appear, be manifest,” is rendered “(that) they may be seen” in Mat 6:5<\/span>; “it was (never so) seen,” Mat 9:33<\/span>. See APPEAR. <\/p>\n Notes: (1) For ide and idou, regularly rendered “behold” in the RV, see BEHOLD, No. 4. (2) For optano, in Act 1:3<\/span>, AV, “being seen,” see APPEAR, A, No. 7. (3) For historeo, in Gal 1:18<\/span>, AV, “to see,” see VISIT. (4) For proorao, and proeidon, “to see before,” see FORESEE. (5) For “make … see” see ENLIGHTEN. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n primarily, “a look, a glance” (akin to A, No. 1), denotes “sight,” 2Pe 2:8<\/span>, rendered “seeing;” some interpret it as meaning “look;” Moulton and Milligan illustrate it thus from the papyri; it seems difficult, however to take the next word “hearing” (in the similar construction) in this way. <\/p>\n See, Seeing “to have sight,” is used of bodily vision, e.g., Mat 11:4; and mental, e.g., Mat 13:13-14; it is said of God the Father in Mat 6:4, Mat 6:6, Mat 6:18; of Christ as “seeing” what the Father doeth, Joh 5:19. It especially stresses the thought of the person who “sees.” For the various … Continue reading “See, Seeing”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83242\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
