Matthew 13:14
Compare all
12 aFor whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.  
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
a‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not bperceive; 
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears aare hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have bclosed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I1 should cheal them.’  
16 But ablessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;  
17 for assuredly, I say to you athat many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
