13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand. 14 In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says,

‘By hearing you will hear,

and will in no way understand;

Seeing you will see,

and will in no way perceive;

15 for this people’s heart has grown callous,

their ears are dull of hearing,

and they have closed their eyes;

or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes,

hear with their ears,

understand with their heart,

and would turn again,

and I would heal them.’

13 因此, 我用比喻对他们讲话, 因为他们看却看不见, 听也听不到, 也不明白。

14 以赛亚的预言, 正应验在他们身上, 他说: ‘你们听是听见了, 总是不明白; 看是看见了, 总是不领悟。

15 因为这人民的心思迟钝, 用不灵的耳朵去听, 又闭上了眼睛; 免得自己眼睛看见, 耳朵听见, 心里明白, 回转过来, 我就医好他们。’
