Matthew 13:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Therefore do 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 Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.

¹⁵ For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
