For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
