Exegesis
Three coordinated aorist infinitives—gnōnai {γνῶναι | gnô-nai}, idein {ἰδεῖν | i-deîn}, and akousai {ἀκοῦσαι | a-koû-sai}—outline the purposes: knowing His will (thelema {θέλημα | thé-lē-ma}), seeing the Righteous One (dikaion {δίκαιον | dí-kai-on}), and hearing a voice from His mouth (phōnēn {φωνὴν | phō-nḗn} ek tou stomatos autou {ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ}).
