11 And he answered and said to them, Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given;
12 for whoever has, to him shall be also given, and he shall abound; but whoever has not, from him shall be taken away even what he has.
13 For this reason I speak to them in parables; because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which says; Hearing you shall hear and not understand, and seeing you shall see and not perceive;
15 for the hearts of this people have become hard, and they hear imperfectly with their ears, and their eyes have they closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 For I tell you truly, that many prophets and righteous men have desired to see what you see and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear and have not heard it.
