NASB
""Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand."
— Matthew 13:13, NASB
“Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”
“Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ”
“Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don't see, and hearing, they don't hear, neither do they understand.”
“For this reason I speak to them in parables: Although they see they do not see, and although they hear they do not hear nor do they understand.”
“Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”
“For this reason I put things into the form of stories; because they see without seeing, and give ear without hearing, and the sense is not clear to them.”
“Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”
And the disciples came and said to Him, "Why do You speak to them in parables?"
Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.
"For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
"Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
"In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, 'YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;
FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.'
"But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
