Matthew 13:14–16

13:14 And concerning them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

‘You will listen carefully19 yet will never understand,

you will look closely20 yet will never comprehend.

13:15 For the heart of this people has become dull;

they are hard of hearing,

and they have shut their eyes,

so that they would not see with their eyes

and hear with their ears

and understand with their hearts

and turn, and I would heal them.’21

13:16 “But your eyes are blessed22 because they see, and your ears because they hear.
