Daniel 12:10

10 ^aMany shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but ^bthe wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, ^cbut those who are wise shall understand.

Matthew 13:13-14

13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because ^dseeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, ^enor do they understand. 14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:

^f“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”

Matthew 13:51

New and Old Treasures

51 ^g“Have you understood all these things?” They said to him, “Yes.”

1 Corinthians 2:14

14 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are ^hfolly to him, and ⁱhe is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

1 John 5:20

20 And we know that the Son of God has come and ^jhas given us understanding, so that we may know ^khim who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and ^leternal life.
