Matthew 13:14-16

Common English Bible

You will hear, to be sure, but never understand;
        and you will certainly see but never recognize what you are seeing.
¹⁵     For this people’s senses have become calloused,
        and they’ve become hard of hearing,
        and they’ve shut their eyes
            so that they won’t see with their eyes
            or hear with their ears
            or understand with their minds,
                and change their hearts and lives that I may heal them.^[a]
