Matthew:13:11-17

*
He answered and said unto them ,
Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven ,
but to them it is not given .
*
For whosoever hath ,
to him shall be given ,
and he shall have more abundance :
but whosoever hath not ,
from him shall be taken away even that he hath .
*
Therefore speak I to them in parables :
because they seeing see not ;
and hearing they hear not ,
neither do they understand .
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
But blessed are your eyes ,
for they see :
and your ears ,
for they hear .
*
For verily I say unto you ,
That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see ,
and have not seen them ;
and to hear those things which ye hear ,
and have not heard them .
