Matthew 13:13-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³For this reason I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see,^(A) and hearing they do not listen or understand.^(B) ¹⁴Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:

You will listen and listen,
yet never understand;
and you will look and look,
yet never perceive.^(C)
¹⁵For this people’s heart has grown callous;
their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn back—
and I would cure them.^(D)^[a]
