Bible Note: But Doc, the context of the vs'. you cited, (Matt.13:14,15) are referring to the Jews, of that time, and why they were being spoken to in parables. These vs' are not referring to anyone else after them at all as you suppose. Especially those who are living today. This was Jesus direct answer to a question He was asked by the disciples, about the Jews. If you would take note in vs. 14 it says (Brackets have been added) ( "In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled ), which says, You will keep on hearing, but will not understand; You will keep on seeing, but will not perceive. Then in vs. 15 it says ( For the heart of this people has become dull ), with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return and I would heal them.
