As we discuss this parable, let’s first ask ourselves, “Why did Jesus speak
to the people in this fashion?” The apostles wanted to know this also, and
Jesus answered by quoting the prophet Isaiah, “This is why I speak to
them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not
hear, nor do they understand For 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 turn, and I would heal them.’"(Matthew 13:13-15,
ESV).
