Concerning them, Jesus quoted Jehovah’s prophecy through Isaiah: “The heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes; that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it with their hearts and turn back, and I heal them. ” ​ — Matthew 13: 15; Isaiah 6: 9, 10.
قال يسوع عنهم ،‏ مقتبسا نبوة يهوه بفم إشعيا :‏ « قد غلظ قلب هذا الشعب وثقلت آذانهم عن السماع وأغمضوا عيونهم ،‏ لئلا يبصروا بعيونهم ويسمعوا بآذانهم ويفهموا بقلوبهم ويرجعوا فأشفيهم » .‏ —‏ متى ١٣ :‏ ١٥ ؛‏ اشعيا ٦ :‏ ​ ٩ ،‏ ١٠‏ .‏
