Greek Commentary for Matthew 13:14
Aoristic present passive indicative. Here Jesus points out the fulfilment and not with Matthew‘s usual formula The verb αναπληροω anaplēroō occurs nowhere else in the Gospels, but occurs in the Pauline Epistles. It means to fill up like a cup, to fill another‘s place (1 Corinthians 14:16), to fill up what is lacking (Philemon 2:30). Here it means that the prophecy of Isaiah is fully satisfied in the conduct of the Pharisees and Jesus himself points it out. Note two ways of reproducing the Hebrew idiom (infinitive absolute), one by ακοηι akoēi the other by βλεποντες blepontes Note also the strong negative ου μη ou mē with aorist subjunctive. [source]
Rather of something in progress: is being fulfilled or in process of fulfilment. [source]
Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Matthew 13:14
In the parallel passages in Mark 4:12 and Luke 8:10 we find ινα hina with the subjunctive. This does not necessarily mean that in Mark and Luke ιναοτι hinâhoti with the causal sense, though a few rare instances of such usage may be found in late Greek. For a discussion of the problem see my chapter on “The Causal Use of Hina ” in Studies in Early Christianity (1928) edited by Prof. S.J. Case. Here in Matthew we have first “an adaptation of Isaiah 6:9. which is quoted in full in Matthew 13:14.” (McNeile). Thus Matthew presents “a striking paradox, ‹though they see, they do not (really) see‘”(McNeile). Cf. John 9:41. The idiom here in Matthew gives no trouble save in comparison with Mark and Luke which will be discussed in due turn. The form συνιουσιν suniousin is an omega verb form (συνιω suniō) rather than the μι mi verb (συνιημι suniēmi) as is common in the Koiné. [source]
Second aorist active imperative instead of the old form ειπε eipe The quotation is from Isaiah 6:9, Isaiah 6:10. This very passage is quoted by Jesus (Matthew 13:14, Matthew 13:15; Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10) in explanation of his use of parables and in John 12:40 the very point made by Paul here, “the disbelief of the Jews in Jesus” (Page). See note on Matthew 13:14 for discussion of the language used. Here the first time (“go to this people and say”) does not occur in Matthew. It is a solemn dirge of the doom of the Jews for their rejection of the Messiah foreseen so long ago by Isaiah. [source]
Rend. when ye received the word of the message (which came ) from us, even the word of God.

Ἁκοή in N.T. means the sense of hearing, as Matthew 13:14; 1 Corinthians 12:17; 2 Peter 2:8: or the organ of hearing = ear, as Mark 7:35; Luke 7:1: or a thing heard, a report, rumor, as John 12:38; Romans 10:16.
