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;
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.’
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.’
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.
The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 a“Therefore hear the parable of the sower:
19 When anyone hears the word aof the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
