Jesus called the crowd to him and said,“ Listen and understand.

And he called the people to him and said to them,“ Hear and understand:

Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear.“ Listen,” he said,“ and try to understand.

Summoning the crowd, he told them,“ Listen and understand:

After Jesus called the crowd to Him, He said to them,“ Hear and understand!

When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them,“ Hear and understand:

And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Summoning the crowd, He told them,“ Listen and understand:

And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:

Then he called the crowd to him and said,“ Listen and understand.

He summoned the multitude, and said to them,“ Hear, and understand.

Again Jesus called the crowd to him. He said,“ Listen to me, everyone. Understand this.Nothing outside of a person can make them‘ unclean’ by going into them. It is what comes out of them that makes them‘ unclean.’ ”

All the people were listening. Jesus said to his disciples,“ Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in long robes. They love to be greeted with respect in the market. They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues. They also love to have the places of honor at banquets.They take over the houses of widows. They say long prayers to show off. God will punish these men very much.”

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

That’s why we have not stopped praying for you. We have been praying for you since the day we heard about you. We keep asking God to fill you with the knowledge of what he wants. We pray he will give you the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives.

So he said,“ Go and speak to these people. Tell them,“‘ You will hear but never understand. You will see but never know what you are seeing.’

“ The prophet Daniel spoke about‘ the hated thing that destroys.’( Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) Someday you will see it standing in the holy place. The reader should understand this.

If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn’t find fault.

Listen and come to me. Pay attention to me. Then you will live. I will make a covenant with you that will last forever. I will give you my faithful love. I promised it to David.

People hear the message about the kingdom but do not understand it. Then the evil one comes. He steals what was planted in their hearts. Those people are like the seed planted on a path.

Micaiah announced,“ Do you really think you will return safely? If you do, the Lord hasn’t spoken through me.” He continued,“ All of you people, remember what I’ve said!”

I pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the glorious Father. I keep asking him to give you the wisdom and understanding that come from the Holy Spirit. I want you to know God better.
