ACV(i)
11 And having answered, he said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to those men it has not been given.
12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Because of this I speak to them in parables, because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, nor do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says, By hearing ye will hear, and will, no, not understand, and seeing ye will see, and will, no, not perceive.
15 For this people's heart became fat, and their ears hear heavily, and their eyes are shut, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.
