13 Por isso lhes falo por parábolas; porque eles, vendo, não vêem; e ouvindo, não ouvem nem entendem.

14 E neles se cumpre a profecia de Isaías, que diz: Ouvindo, ouvireis, e de maneira alguma entendereis; e, vendo, vereis, e de maneira alguma percebereis.

15 Porque o coração deste povo se endureceu, e com os ouvidos ouviram tardiamente, e fecharam os olhos, para que não vejam com os olhos, nem ouçam com os ouvidos, nem entendam com o coração, nem se convertam, e eu os cure.

13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
