Exegesis
The causal conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces the reason for this blessed state, followed by the finite verb blepousin {βλέπουσιν | blé-pou-sin} “they see,” where the third person plural verb grammatically agrees with “eyes” as the subject.
In context — Matthew 13:16
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
