Matthew 13:13-15

Modern English Version

‘Because they look, but do not see.
    And they listen, but they do not hear, neither do they understand.’^[a]

‘By hearing, you will hear and shall not understand,
    and seeing, you will see and shall not perceive;^[b]
15 for this people’s heart has grown dull.
    Their ears have become hard of hearing,
    and they have closed their eyes,
lest they should see with their eyes
    and hear with their ears
    and understand with their hearts,
and turn, and I should heal them.’^[c]
