Matthew 13:9-17

9Who hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

10AndG2532 the disciplesG3588G3101 cameG4334, and saidG3004 unto himG846, WhyG5101 speakest thouG2980 unto themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850?

11He answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 unto youG4771 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3588G3466 of the kingdomG3588G932 of heavenG3588G3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.

12ForG1063 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have more abundanceG4052: butG1161 whosoeverG3748 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be taken awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 he hathG2192.

13ThereforeG3778 speak IG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 theyG991 seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920.

14AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG3588G4394 of IsaiahG2268, which saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3361 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG3708 notG3361 perceiveG3708:

15ForG1063 thisG3778 people’sG3588G2992 heartG3588G2588 is waxed grossG3975, andG2532 their earsG3588G3775 are dull ofG917 hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG3708 withG3588G3788 their eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 hearG191 withG3588G3775 their earsG3588G3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 withG3588G2588 their heartG3588G2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.

16ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG4771 eyesG3588G3788, forG3754 they seeG991: andG2532 yourG4771 earsG3588G3775, forG3754 they hearG191.

17ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG4771, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG3708 those things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 them; andG2532 to hearG191 those things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them.
