Matthew 13 <br><i>
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 
<p>
11 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. 
<p>
12 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. 
<p>
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and Hearing they Hear not, neither do they understand. 
<p>
14 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: 
<p>
15 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. 
<p>
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your Ears , for they Hear . 
<p>
17 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.</i>
