13 Por isso, lhes falo por parábolas; porque, vendo, não veem; e, ouvindo, não ouvem, nem entendem. 14 De sorte que neles se cumpre a profecia de Isaías:

Ouvireis com os ouvidos e de nenhum modo entendereis; vereis com os olhos e de nenhum modo percebereis.

15 Porque o coração deste povo está endurecido, de mau grado ouviram com os ouvidos e fecharam os olhos; para não suceder que vejam com os olhos, ouçam com os ouvidos, entendam com o coração, se convertam e sejam por mim curados.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which said, By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive:

15 For this people' heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
