It is derived from the verb "behold," which means to see, observe, or gaze upon with attention. In the context of Scripture, "beholdest" often conveys a sense of witnessing or perceiving something significant or noteworthy.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b><br><br>The word "beholdest" is used in various passages to draw attention to a particular event, teaching, or divine action. It serves as a call to the reader or listener to pay close attention to what follows, often highlighting the importance or gravity of the situation.<br><br><b>Example in Scripture:</b><br><br>One notable instance of the concept conveyed by "beholdest" can be found in the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. In <a href="/matthew/7-3.htm">Matthew 7:3</a> , Jesus addresses the issue of hypocrisy and judgment among His followers:<br><br><i>"Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?"</i><br><br>Here, the act of "looking" or "beholding" the speck in another's eye while ignoring one's own faults is a powerful illustration of the human tendency to judge others more harshly than oneself. This teaching emphasizes the importance of self-examination and humility before passing judgment on others.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>In the broader theological context, the concept of "beholding" in Scripture often relates to the idea of spiritual perception and understanding. It is not merely about physical sight but involves a deeper, spiritual insight into God's truth and reality. For instance, in the Old Testament, the prophets frequently use the term to call attention to God's actions and promises, urging the people to recognize and respond to His divine will.<br><br><b>Application in Christian Life:</b><br><br>For believers, the call to "behold" is a reminder to remain vigilant and attentive to God's presence and work in the world. It encourages Christians to cultivate a mindset of awareness and discernment, recognizing the ways in which God reveals Himself through Scripture, creation, and the circumstances of life. This attentiveness is crucial for spiritual growth and alignment with God's purposes.<br><br>In summary, while the specific term "beholdest" may not appear in modern translations like the Berean Standard Bible, the concept it represents remains vital. It underscores the importance of seeing with spiritual eyes, understanding God's truth, and living in accordance with His will.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/winkworth/the_history_and_life_of_the_reverend_doctor_john_tauler/xx_sermon_for_the_fourth.htm"><span class="l">Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Trinity</span></a> <br><b>...</b> And why <b>beholdest</b> thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest<br> not the beam that is in thine own eye?
