Exegesis
Within the quotation, the two coordinated present imperatives horate {Ὁρᾶτε | ho-râ-te} ‘see, watch’ and prosechete {προσέχετε | pro-sé-che-te} ‘pay attention, beware,’ joined by kai {καὶ | kaí}, create an emphatic admonition requiring both perception and active caution.
In context — Matthew 16:6
Jesus said to them, “Keep watch and be on guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
