Mark 4:12
12 aso that“'they bmay indeed see but not perceive,
and may indeed hear but not understand,
lest they cshould turn and be forgiven.'”
Mark 8:17-18
17And dJesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? eDo you not yet perceive for understand? gAre your hearts hardened? 18 hHaving eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?Luke 8:10
10he said, i“To you it has been given to know jthe secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so kthat ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’John 9:39-41
39Jesus said, l“For judgment I came into this world, mthat those who do not see may see, and nthose who see may become blind.” 40Some of the Pharisees near him heard these things, and said to him, o“Are we also blind?” 41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, pyou would have no guilt; ▼▼Greek you would not have sin
but now that you say, ‘We see,’ your guilt remains. John 12:40
40 r“He has blinded their eyesand shardened their heart,
lest they see with their eyes,
and understand with their heart, and turn,
and I would heal them.”
Acts 28:26-27
26 t“‘Go to this people, and say,u“You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.”
27 vFor this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and wturn, and I would heal them.’
