Matthew 13:16

---

← Matthew 13:15 [words of Jesus]	Matthew 13:16 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	Matthew 13:17 [words of Jesus] →
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].
