Matthew 13:15-17
International Standard Version
15 for this people’s heart has become dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing.[a]
They have shut their eyes
so that they might not see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart and turn,
and I would heal them.’[b]
16 “How blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear! 17 I tell all of you[c] with certainty, many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see but did not see them, and to hear the things you hear but did not hear them.”
