10 Then his disciples drew near to him and his disciples said to him: ‘Why do you speak in parables?’
11 He said: "To you it has been given to know ‘the Kingdom of heaven’ but not to them."
12 "Whoever has, more will be given to him but whoever has nothing, that which he thinks he has will be taken from him"
13 "For this reason I speak in parables because they see but do not see, hear but do not hear,"
14 "in order to fulfill what was said through Yesha’yahu [the salvation of our God] the Prophet: ‘Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not."
15 "Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed."
16 "Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are your eyes that see and your ears that hear."
17 "Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it."
