Looking unto (aphorontes eis). Present active participle of aphorao, old verb to look away, "looking away to Jesus." In N.T. only here and Phil. 2:23. Fix your eyes on Jesus, after a glance at "the cloud of witnesses," for he is the goal. Cf. Moses in Hebrews 11:26 (apeblepen). - Robertson's Word Pictures in the New Testament The word "looking" is aphorao "to turn the eyes away from other things and fix them on something." The word also means "to turn one's mind to a certain thing." Both meanings are applicable here, the spiritual vision turned away from all else and together with the mind, concentrated on Jesus. What a lesson in Christian running technique we have in that little preposition "off, away from," which is prefixed to this verb. The minute the Greek runner in the stadium takes his attention away from the race course and the goal to which he is speeding, and turns it upon the onlooking crowds, his speed is slackened. It is so with the Christian. The minute he takes his eyes off of the Lord Jesus, and turns them upon others, his pace in the Christian life is slackened, and his onward progress in grace hindered - Wuest's Word Studies |
