13 Por isso lhes falo por parábolas; porque eles, vendo, não vêem; e, ouvindo, não ouvem nem compreendem.
14 E neles se cumpre a profecia de Isaías, que diz:Ouvindo, ouvireis, mas não compreendereis,e, vendo, vereis, mas não percebereis.
15 Porque o coração deste povo está endurecido,E ouviram de mau grado com seus ouvidos,E fecharam seus olhos;Para que não vejam com os olhos,E ouçam com os ouvidos,e compreendam com o coração,e se convertam,e eu os cure.
13 For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.
14 And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:
15 For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.
