Matthew 13:13-16 Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled unto them, saying, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive. ¹⁵ Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard heavily with their ears, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I shall heal them. ¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
