Matthew 13:15 in Context — Matthew 13

13 Por isso falo a eles por parábolas; porque vendo, não veem; e ouvindo, não ouvem, nem entendem.

14 Assim neles se cumpre a profecia de Isaías, que diz: De fato ouvireis, mas não entendereis; De fato vereis, mas não percebereis.

15 Porque o coração deste povo está insensível; Com seus ouvidos dificilmente ouvem, e seus olhos fecharam; A fim de não haver que seus olhos vejam, seus ouvidos ouçam, Seus corações entendam, e se arrependam, E eu os cure.

16 Mas benditos são os vossos olhos, porque veem; e os vossos ouvidos, porque ouvem.

17 Pois em verdade vos digo que muitos profetas e justos desejaram ver o que vós vedes, mas não viram; e [desejaram] ouvir o que vós ouvis, mas não ouviram.
