13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
Is. 6:9, 10; Ezek. 12:2; Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10; John 12:40; Acts 28:26, 27; Rom. 11:8; (2 Cor. 3:14, 15)‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not (John 3:36)perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Theirears Ps. 119:70; Zech. 7:11; 2 Tim. 4:4; Heb. 5:11are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have Luke 19:42closed,
Lest they should see withtheireyes and hear withtheirears,
Lest they should understand withtheirhearts and turn,
So that I shouldActs 28:26, 27heal them.’
