BARTHOLOMÄ [Matt 13,13-15 par.] [5,37c] The reason I speak to them in You have never heard [1/1] [avkhko,ate] his voice or seen parables is that ‘seeing they do [e`wra,kate] his form, not perceive, and hearing they do not listen [avkou,ontej ouvk akouousin], nor do they under- v, stand.’ (…) you will look closely yet will never compre- hend [i;dhte]. For this heart of this people has become dull; (…) and they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see [i;dwsin] with their eyes and hear [avkou,swsin] with their ears and understand with their hearts and turn (…) [Matt 11,27c par.] (…) and no one knows the Fa- ther except the Son and anyone [0/1] to whom the Son chooses to re- veal him. [Mark 4,16-17 par.] [5,38a] And these are the ones sown on and you do not have [ouvk rocky ground: when they hear e;cete] his word [to.n lo,gon] [1/2] the word [to.n lo,gon], they im- abiding in you, mediately receive it with joy. But they have no [ouk e;cousin] v root, and endure only for a while; then, when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word [ton lo,gon], imme- . diately they fall away. [Matt 17,17 par.] [5,38b] You faithless [a;pistoj] and because you do not believe [1/1] perverse generation, how much [ouv pisteu,ete] him whom he longer must I be with you? has sent. On the theme of the Father sending the Son, see [Matt 10,40; Luke 10,16].
