## Matthew 13:18 in Context (Verses 15–21 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/13/15) For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and *their* ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with *their* eyes, and hear with *their* ears, and should understand with *their* heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/13/16) But blessed *are* your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/13/17) For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous *men* have desired to see *those things* which ye see, and have not seen *them*; and to hear *those things* which ye hear, and have not heard *them.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/13/18) ¶ Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/13/19) When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth *it* not, then cometh the wicked *one*, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/13/20) But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/13/21) Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
 
[Matthew 12](/kjv/matthew/12) [Matthew 14](/kjv/matthew/14)
