Matthew 13:11-17
New King James Version
11 He answered and said to them, “Because (A)it has been given to you to know the [a]mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 (B)For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
(C)‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not (D)perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears (E)are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have (F)closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I [b]should (G)heal them.’
16 But (H)blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you (I)that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

(C)“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

21 (B)In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 22 (C)All[a] things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and (D)no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, (E)“Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; 24 for I tell you (F)that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”
