By a use not found in Greek authors ἑαυτὸν βλέπειν to look to oneself (equivalent to sibi cavere): Mark 13:9; followed by ἵνα μή [cf. Buttmann, 242 (209)], 2 John 1:8; βλέπειν ἀπό τινος (equivalent to sibi cavere ab aliquo) to beware of one [Winers Grammar, 223 (209), cf. 39 (38); Buttmann, 242 (209), cf. 323 (278)], Mark 8:15; Mark 12:38; look to in the sense of providing, taking care: followed by ἵνα, 1 Corinthians 16:10; followed by μή with subjunctive aorist, Matthew 24:4; Mark 13:5; Luke 21:8; Acts 13:40; 1 Corinthians 8:9 (μήπως); 1 Corinthians 10:12; Galatians 5:15; Hebrews 12:25; followed by μή with future indicative, Colossians 2:8; Hebrews 3:12.
