It implies a focused and thorough perception, often with an emphasis on understanding or insight. This term is used in contexts where a deeper or more accurate vision is required, both physically and metaphorically.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, vision and sight were often associated with knowledge and understanding. The ability to see clearly was not only a physical attribute but also a metaphor for insight and wisdom. In the context of the New Testament, seeing clearly often relates to spiritual perception and the ability to discern truth.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1227</b> <i>diablépō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">1223</a> <i>/diá</i>, "through, thoroughly," which intensifies <a href="/greek/991.htm">991</a> <i>/blépō</i>, "to see") – properly, see <i>through</i> (i.e. <i>clearly</i>); (figuratively) to see <i>accurately</i>, <i>comprehending</i> the spiritual (moral) meaning behind the physical sight – i.e. "looking <i>through</i>, <i>penetrating</i>" (<i>WP</i>, 1, 60; note the force of the prefix, <i>dia</i>). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/991.htm">blepó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to look through, to see clearly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>looked intently (1), see (1), see clearly (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1227: διαβλέπω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διαβλέπω</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">διαβλεψω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">διεβλεψα</span>; <span class="accented">to look through, penetrate by vision</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> <span class="accented">to look fixedly, stare straight before one</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, Phaedo, p. 86 d.): <span class="greek2">διεβλεψε</span>, of a blind man recovering sight, <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-25.htm">Mark 8:25</a> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text (some refer this to b.). <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">to see clearly</span>: followed by an infinitive expressing the purpose, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-5.htm">Matthew 7:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/6-42.htm">Luke 6:42</a>.
