Exegesis
The first clause, eipon hymin ēdē kai ouk ēkousate {Εἶπον ὑμῖν ἤδη καὶ οὐκ ἠκούσατε | eipon hymîn ēdē kai ouk ēkousate}, recalls prior instruction and the audience’s failure to respond; ēdē ‘already’ places emphasis on earlier communication, while ouk ēkousate signals more than auditory failure, implying refusal to heed.
