Matthew 13:11-15 And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given. ¹² For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him. ¹³ For this I speak to them in parables: for seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And the prophecy of Esaias is filled up in them, saying, In hearing shall ye hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. ¹⁵ For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.
