* And the disciples came (5631 ), and said (5627 ) unto him , Why speakest thou (5719 ) unto them in parables ? * He answered (5679 ) and said (5627 ) unto them , Because it is given (5769 ) unto you to know (5629 ) the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven , but to them it is not given (5769 ). * For whosoever hath (5719 ), to him shall be given (5701 ), and he shall have more abundance (5701 ): but whosoever hath (5719 ) not , from him shall be taken away (5701 ) even that he hath (5719 ). * Therefore speak I (5719 ) to them in parables : because they seeing (5723 ) see (5719 ) not ; and hearing (5723 ) they hear (5719 ) not , neither do they understand (5719 ). * And in them is fulfilled (5743 ) the prophecy of Esaias , which saith (5723 ), By hearing ye shall hear (5692 ), and shall not understand (5655 ); and seeing (5723 ) ye shall see (5692 ), and shall not perceive (5632 ): * For this peoples heart is waxed gross (5681 ), and their ears are dull of hearing (5656 ), and their eyes they have closed (5656 ); lest at any time they should see (5632 ) with their eyes , and hear (5661 ) with their ears , and should understand (5632 ) with their heart , and should be converted (5661 ), and I should heal (5667 ) them . * But blessed are your eyes , for they see (5719 ): and your ears , for they hear (5719 ). * For verily I say (5719 ) unto you , That many prophets and righteous men have desired (5656 ) to see (5629 ) those things which ye see (5719 ), and have not seen (5627 ) them ; and to hear (5658 ) those things which ye hear (5719 ), and have not heard (5656 ) them .
