*Luke 6:39 Can the blind lead the blind?

*The Greek starts with an untranslated adverb meaning "much less." The "can" is a verb that means "has power."

The words translated as "blind" are singular, not plural, with no "the" before them. It means phyically blind, but also lacking foresight, a vision of the future. The word translated "both" is not the common "both" because it refers to both types of blindness as well as both people. The uncommon Greek word means "both sides" and "both ways" as well as "both together." Unlike the common word for "both," it implies two different way together.
