13 For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.

14 And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

15 For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

13 Perciò parlo loro in parabole, perché, vedendo, non vedono; e udendo, non odono e non intendono.

14 E sadempie in loro la profezia dIsaia che dice: Udrete co vostri orecchi e non intenderete; uarderete co vostri occhi e non vedrete:

15 perché il cuore di questo popolo sè fatto insensibile, son divenuti duri dorecchi ed hanno chiuso gli occhi, che talora non veggano con gli occhi e non odano con gli orecchi e non intendano col cuore e non si convertano, ed io non li guarisca.
