Matthew 13:13-16
13ThisG3778 is whyG1223 I speakG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850:
‘ThoughG3754 seeingG991, they do not seeG3756G991;though hearingG191, they do not hearG3756G191 or understandG4920.’1
In themG846 theG3588 prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268 is fulfilledG378:
‘You will be ever hearingG191G189 butG2532 neverG3756G3361 understandingG4920;you will be ever seeingG991 butG2532 neverG3756G3361 perceivingG3708.15ForG1063 thisG3778 people’sG2992 heartG2588 has grown callousG3975;they hardly hearG191G917 withG3588 their earsG3775,andG2532 they have closedG2576 theirG846 eyesG3788.OtherwiseG3361G4219 they might seeG3708 withG3588 their eyesG3788,hearG191 withG3588 their earsG3775,understandG4920 withG3588 their heartsG2588,andG2532 turnG1994, andG2532 I would healG2390 themG846.’2
16ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG4771 eyesG3788 becauseG3754 they seeG991, andG2532 yourG4771 earsG3775 becauseG3754 they hearG191.
