¹⁰門徒們前來對他說：「為什麼你用比喻對他們講話？」

¹⁰And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?

¹¹耶穌回答他們說：「因為天國的奧妙，是給你們知道，並不是給他們知道。

¹¹Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.

¹²因為凡有的，還要給他，使他富足；但是，凡沒有的，連他所有的，也要由他奪去。

¹²For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.

¹³為此，我用比喻對他們講話，是因為他們看，卻看不見；聽，卻聽不見，也不了解；

¹³Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

¹⁴這樣為他們正應驗了依撒意亞的預言，說：『你們聽是聽，但不了解；看是看，但不明白，

¹⁴And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.

¹⁵因為這百姓的心遲鈍了，耳朵難以聽見；他們閉了眼睛，免得眼睛看見，耳朵聽見，心裡了解而轉變，而要我醫好他們。』

¹⁵For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

¹⁶但你們的眼睛有福，因為看得見；你們的耳朵有福，因為聽得見。

¹⁶But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.

¹⁷我實在告訴你們：有許多先知和義人，想看你們所看見的，而沒有看到；想聽你們所聽見的，而沒有聽到。」

¹⁷For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.
