Matthew 13:17 in Context — Matthew 13
15 Car le cœur de ce peuple est devenu insensible; Ils ont endurci leurs oreilles, et ils ont fermé leurs yeux, De peur qu’ils ne voient de leurs yeux, qu’ils n’entendent de leurs oreilles, Qu’ils ne comprennent de leur cœur, Qu’ils ne se convertissent, et que je ne les guérisse.
16 Mais heureux sont vos yeux, parce qu’ils voient, et vos oreilles, parce qu’elles entendent!
17 Je vous le dis en vérité,beaucoup de prophètes et de justes ont désiré voir ce que vous voyez, et ne l’ont pas vu, entendre ce que vous entendez, et ne l’ont pas entendu.
18 Vous donc, écoutez ce que signifie la parabole du semeur.
19 Lorsqu’un homme écoute la parole duroyaume et ne la comprend pas, le malin vient et enlève ce qui a été semé dans son cœur: cet homme est celui qui a reçu la semence le long du chemin.
