Matthew 13:13-15

New International Reader's Version

“They look, but they don’t really see.
    They listen, but they don’t really hear or understand.

“ ‘You will hear but never understand.
    You will see but never know what you are seeing.
¹⁵ The hearts of these people have become stubborn.
    They can barely hear with their ears.
    They have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes.
    They might hear with their ears.
    They might understand with their hearts.
They might turn to the Lord, and then he would heal them.’ (Isaiah 6:9,10)
