15
Затверділо бо серце народу сього, й ушима тяжко чують, й очі свої вони заплющили, щоб инкоди не побачити очима, й не почути ушима, й не зрозуміти серцем, і не навернутись, щоб сцїлив я їх.
Метью 13:15

Matthew 13:18-23
18
"Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom, and doesn't understand it, the evil one comes, and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20
What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word, and immediately with joy receives it;
21
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22
What was sown among the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23
What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
