THE PROPHECY OF ESAIAS
AND
THE DISCIPLES CAME,
AND
SAID UNTO HIM,
WHY SPEAKEST THOU
UNTO THEM IN PARABLES?
HE
HE
ANSWERED AND SAID
UNTO THEM,
BECAUSE IT IS GIVEN
UNTO YOU
TO KNOW
THE MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM
OF HEAVEN,
BUT TO THEM
IT IS NOT GIVEN.
FOR WHOSOEVER HATH,
TO HIM SHALL BE GIVEN,
AND
HE SHALL HAVE
MORE ABUNDANCE:
BUT
WHOSOEVER HATH NOT,
FROM
HIM SHALL BE TAKEN
AWAY EVEN THAT HE HATH.
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,
I SHOULD HEAL THEM.
BUT
BLESSED ARE
YOUR EYES,
FOR THEY SEE:
AND
YOUR EARS,
FOR THEY HEAR.
LOVE
