13 因此， 我用比喻对他们讲话， 因为他们看却看不见， 听也听不到， 也不明白。

14 以赛亚的预言， 正应验在他们身上， 他说： ‘你们听是听见了， 总是不明白； 看是看见了， 总是不领悟。

15 因为这人民的心思迟钝， 用不灵的耳朵去听， 又闭上了眼睛； 免得自己眼睛看见， 耳朵听见， 心里明白， 回转过来， 我就医好他们。’

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.
