Matthew 13:13-16

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Matthew 13:13-16

13This is why I speak to them in parables:
‘Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’
14In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled:
‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15For this people’s heart has grown callous;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn, and I would heal them.’
16But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.
— Matthew 13:13-16
