That is why I use these parables, For they look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.

所以我用比喻对他们讲，是因他们看也看不见，听也听不见，也不明白。

若輩視而不見、聽而不聞、冥頑不悟、故以譬喻訓之。

This is why I speak to them in parables:“ Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

Here is why I use stories when I speak to the people. I say,“ They look, but they don’t really see. They listen, but they don’t really hear or understand.

This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

That is why I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand.

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.

Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

For this reason I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand.

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, 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.

“ Son of man, you live among rebels who have eyes but refuse to see. They have ears but refuse to hear. For they are a rebellious people.

Listen, you foolish and senseless people, with eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear.

If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing.Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

Such stupidity and ignorance! Their eyes are closed, and they cannot see. Their minds are shut, and they cannot think.

And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed.

Then Jesus told him,“ I entered this world to render judgment— to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”Some Pharisees who were standing nearby heard him and asked,“ Are you saying we’re blind?”“ If you were blind, you wouldn’t be guilty,” Jesus replied.“ But you remain guilty because you claim you can see.

all the great tests of strength, the miraculous signs, and the amazing wonders.But to this day the Lord has not given you minds that understand, nor eyes that see, nor ears that hear!

“ Listen, you who are deaf! Look and see, you blind!Who is as blind as my own people, my servant? Who is as deaf as my messenger? Who is as blind as my chosen people, the servant of the Lord?You see and recognize what is right but refuse to act on it. You hear with your ears, but you don’t really listen.”

“ But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.

Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said,“ Why are you arguing about having no bread? Don’t you know or understand even yet? Are your hearts too hard to take it in?‘ You have eyes— can’t you see? You have ears— can’t you hear?’ Don’t you remember anything at all?
