Exegesis
The verse opens with the genitive humon {ὑμῶν | hu-môn} placed first, giving emphasis to the disciples as the ones in view.
The accusative neuter plural ta ota {τὰ ὦτα | tà ô-ta} “the ears” are qualified again by the genitive humon {ὑμῶν | hu-môn}, and a second hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} clause with akouousin {ἀκούουσιν | a-koú-ou-sin} “they hear” mirrors the first clause. This repetition of hoti-clauses for both seeing and hearing creates a balanced parallelism that reinforces comprehensive spiritual perception. In translation, the implied copula is supplied (“are”) to make the predicate relationship explicit, and both “because” clauses are retained to preserve the symmetrical causal structure.
In context — Matthew 13:16
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
