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.

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.
