← Matthew 13:14 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 13:15 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 13:16 [words of Jesus] →
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.
