13 For this cause I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear nor understand;

14 and in them is filled up the prophecy of Esaias, which says, Hearing ye shall hear and shall not understand, and beholding ye shall behold and not see;

15 for the heart of this people has grown fat, and they have heard heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes as asleep, lest they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

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。’
