This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 13:14. Καὶ, and) therefore.-ἀναπληροῦται, is now being refulfilled[606]) This word differs from the simple verb πληροῦται (is now being fulfilled), which is employed elsewhere in citing prophecies. The saying of Isaiah (Mat 6:9) was being fulfilled in his own days, and in the ages which followed, and also clearly and especially in the days of the Messiah.-ἀκοῇ, κ.τ.λ., by hearing, etc.) i.e. by however little you come short, yet you shall come short [of understanding what ye hear to the salvation of your souls].
[606] E. V. “is fulfilled.”-(I. B.)
“Is receiving its complete (full measure of) fulfilment.”-ED.
