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 seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,

By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand;

And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross,

And their ears are dull of hearing,

And their eyes they have closed;

Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes,

And hear with their ears,

And understand with their heart,

And should turn again,

And I should heal them.

13 This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: "'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15 For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.' [1]
