Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἴδε (so occasionally Griesbach and Rec.bez elz; e. g. Gal 5:2; Rom 11:22) and (later) ἴδε (ἴδε ἀττικως ὡς τό εἶπε, λαβέ, εὗρε. ἴδε ἑλληνικως, Moeris (p. 193, Pierson edition); cf. Winers Grammar, § 6, 1 a.; (Buttmann, 62 (54))), imperative from εἶδον, which see; (from Homer down). In so far as it retains the force of an imperative it is illustrated under εἰδῶ, I. 1 e. and 3. But in most places in the N. T. it stands out of construction like an interjection, even when ninny are addressed (cf. Buttmann, 70 (61); and especially 139 (121f)); Latinen,ecce; "See! Behold! Lo!" a. at the beginning of sentences: as the utterance of one who wishes that something should not be neglected by another, Mat 26:65; Mar 2:24; Mar 11:21; Mar 13:1; Joh 5:14; Joh 18:21; Rom 2:17 Rec.; equivalent to German sieh’doch (see, pray; yet see), Joh 11:36; Joh 16:29; Joh 19:4; Gal 5:2; or of one who brings forward something new and unexpected, Joh 7:26; Joh 11:3; Joh 12:19; or of one pointing out or showing, German hierist,daist,diesesist: ἴδε ὁ τόπος (French,voicilelieu), Mar 16:6; add, Mar 3:34 (L Tr marginal reading ἰδού); Joh 1:29; Joh 1:36; Joh 1:47 (); (T Tr WH ἰδού), f (where some ἰδού); where we (might) use simply here, Mat 25:25; with adverbs of place: ἴδε (R G L ἰδού) ὧδε ὁ Χριστός, ἴδε (R G ἰδού) ἐκεῖ, Mar 13:21.
b. inserted into the midst of a sentence, in such a way that the words which precede it serve to render the more evident the strangeness of what follows: Mat 25:20; Mat 25:22; Joh 3:26.
