Matthew 13:9-17

9WhoG3588 hathG2192 earsG3775 to hearG191, let him hearG191.

10AndG2532 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334, and saidG2036 to himG846, WhyG1302 speakest thouG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850?

11He answeredG611 andG1161 saidG2036 to themG846, BecauseG3754 it is givenG1325 to youG5213 to knowG1097 the mysteriesG3466 of the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772, butG1161 to themG1565 it isG1325 notG3756 givenG1325.

12ForG1063 whoeverG3748 hathG2192, to himG846 shall be givenG1325, andG2532 he shall have more abundanceG4052: butG1161 whoeverG3748 hathG2192 notG3756, fromG575 himG846 shall be taken awayG142 evenG2532 thatG3739 which he hathG2192.

13ThereforeG1223G5124 I speakG2980 to themG846 inG1722 parablesG3850: becauseG3754 they seeingG991 seeG991 notG3756; andG2532 hearingG191 they hearG191 notG3756, neitherG3761 do they understandG4920.

14AndG2532 inG1909 themG846 is fulfilledG378 the prophecyG4394 of IsaiahG2268, whichG3588 saithG3004, By hearingG189 ye shall hearG191, andG2532 shallG4920 notG3364 understandG4920; andG2532 seeingG991 ye shall seeG991, andG2532 shallG1492 notG3364 perceiveG1492:

15ForG1063 thisG5127 people’sG2992 heartG2588 has become dullG3975, andG2532 their earsG3775 are hardG917 of hearingG191, andG2532 theirG846 eyesG3788 they have closedG2576; lest at any timeG3379 they should seeG1492 with their eyesG3788, andG2532 hearG191 with their earsG3775, andG2532 should understandG4920 with their heartG2588, andG2532 should be convertedG1994, andG2532 I should healG2390 themG846.

16ButG1161 blessedG3107 are yourG5216 eyesG3788, forG3754 they seeG991: andG2532 yourG5216 earsG3775, forG3754 they hearG191.

17ForG1063 verilyG281 I sayG3004 to youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 prophetsG4396 andG2532 righteousG1342 men have desiredG1937 to seeG1492 the things whichG3739 ye seeG991, andG2532 haveG1492 notG3756 seenG1492 them ; andG2532 to hearG191 the things whichG3739 ye hearG191, andG2532 haveG191 notG3756 heardG191 them .
