Matthew 13:12 in Context — Matthew 13

10 Les disciples s’approchèrent, et lui dirent: Pourquoi leur parles-tu en paraboles?

11 Jésus leur répondit: Parce qu’il vous a été donné de connaître les mystères du royaume des cieux, etque cela ne leur a pas été donné.

12 Car on donnera à celui qui a, et il sera dans l’abondance, mais à celui qui n’a pas on ôtera même ce qu’il a.

13 C’est pourquoi je leur parle en paraboles, parce qu’en voyant ils ne voient point, et qu’en entendant ils n’entendent ni ne comprennent.

14 Et pour eux s’accomplit cette prophétie d’Ésaïe: Vous entendrez de vos oreilles, et vous ne comprendrez point; Vous regarderez de vos yeux, et vous ne verrez point.
