Matthew 13:9-17

91The one who hasG2192 earsG3775, 2let him hearG191.”

10And the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 upG4334 and saidG3004 to Him, “WhyG1223G5101 do You speakG2980 to them in parablesG3850?” 11And 3Jesus answeredG611 them, “4To you it has been grantedG1325 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, but to them it has not been grantedG1325. 125For whoeverG3748 hasG2192, to him more shall be givenG1325, and he will haveG4052 anG4052 abundanceG4052; but whoeverG3748 does not haveG2192, evenG2532 whatG3739 he hasG2192 shall be takenG142 awayG142 from him. 13ThereforeG1223G3778 I speakG2980 to them in parablesG3850; becauseG3754 while 6seeingG991 they do not seeG991, and while hearingG191 they do not hearG191, norG3761 do they understandG4920. 14And 7in their case the prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268 is being fulfilledG378, which saysG3004, ‘89You shall keepG189 on listeningG191, 10but shall not understandG4920; And 11you shall keepG991 on lookingG991, 12but shall not perceiveG3708;1513For the heartG2588 of thisG3778 peopleG2992 has becomeG3975 dullG3975, With their earsG3775 they scarcelyG917 hearG191, And they have closedG2576 their eyesG3788, OtherwiseG3379 they might seeG3708 with their eyesG3788, HearG191 with their earsG3775, UnderstandG4920 with their heartG2588, and returnG1994, And I would healG2390 them.’ 1614But blessedG3107 are your eyesG3788, becauseG3754 they seeG991; and your earsG3775, becauseG3754 they hearG191. 17For trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you that 15manyG4183 prophetsG4396 and righteousG1342 peopleG1342 longedG1937 to seeG3708 whatG3739 you seeG991, and did not seeG3708 it, and to hearG191 whatG3739 you hearG191, and did not hearG191 it.
