- O fools:
- Rather, inconsiderate men, ανοητοι [Strong's G0453], justly termed such, because they had not attended to the description of the Messiah by the prophets, nor to His teaching and miracles, as proofs that He alone was the person described. "Andª he saithª° unto them,ª Areª° yeª soª without understandingª also?ª Do ye²° notª perceive,ª° thatª whatsoever thingª from withoutª enterethª° intoª the¹ man,ª [it] cannotªª° defileª° him;ª" {Mrk 7:18} + "Andª when Jesusª knewª° [it], he saithª° unto them,ª Whyª reason¹ ye,²° becauseª ye haveª° noª bread?ª perceive¹ ye²° not yet,ª neitherª understand?ª° have¹ ye²° yourª heartª yetª hardened?ª° ... Havingª° eyes,ª see¹ ye²° not?ª and²¹ havingª° ears,ª hear¹ ye²° not?ª andª do ye²° notª remember?ª°" {Mrk 8:17-18} + "¹ He¹ answerethª° him,ª and² saith,ª° Oª faithlessª generation,ª how longªª shall I beª° withª you?ª how longªª shall I sufferª° you?ª bringª° himª untoª me.ª" {Mrk 9:19} + "Afterwardª he appearedª° unto the¹ elevenª as theyª sat at meat,ª° andª upbraidedª° them with theirª unbeliefª andª hardness of heart,ª becauseª they believedª° notª them which had seenª° himª after he was risen.ª°" {Mrk 16:14} + "Ofª whomª weª have²° many things² to say,ª¹ andª hardª to be uttered,ª° seeingª ye areª° dullª of hearing.ª ... Forª² when¹ forª the¹ timeª ye oughtª° to beª° teachers,ª ye haveª° needª that one teachª° youª againª whichª [be] the¹ firstª principlesª of the¹ oraclesª of God;ª andª are become¹ such as²° haveª° needª of milk,ª andª notª of strong² meat.ª¹" {Hbr 5:11-12}
