Matthew 13:15-19
New King James Version
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears (A)are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have (B)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 [a]should (C)heal them.’
16 But (D)blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you (E)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.
The Parable of the Sower Explained(F)
18 (G)“Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word (H)of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
