# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Jesus finishes explaining to his disciples why he teaches with parables.
|
|
|
|
# But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear
|
|
|
|
Both of these statements mean the same thing. Jesus is emphasizing that they have pleased God because they have believed what Jesus has said and done. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
