Matthew 13:10-17
Then the disciples
came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" And he
answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the
kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to him who has
will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even
what he has will be taken away. 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. With
them indeed is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah which says: `You shall indeed
hear but never understand, and you shall indeed see but never perceive. For
this people's heart has grown dull, and their ears are heavy of hearing, and
their eyes they have closed, lest they should perceive with their eyes, and
hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn for me to heal
them.' But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they
hear. Truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what
you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear
it.

Mga gasa gikan sa Holy
Spirit an pagtuo sanan pagsabot para hidung’gan nan klaro an mga pulong ni God para
molambo sa kana-ad’man nan Ija gugma sanan kamatuoran.
Pero nagpasidaan si
Jesus na dili kon an tanan may kinaad’man para hisab’tan an Ija mga pagtudlo.
Dili makaaksiptar an
scribes sanan Pharisees kan Jesus sanan sa Ija mga pulong kay nagtuo man sila
na sila ra’y nakasabot sanan nahibayo sa scripture sanan sa mga balaod ni
Moses.
Spritually blind
sanan deaf sila kay an ila mga kasing-kasing serado naman sanan an ila mga
pagsabot tagkatabonan man ila mga garbo sanan hambog.
Ipakita ra ni God an
mga sekreto nan Ija kingdom sa mga tawo na mapahi’ubsanon, may pagsalig sanan moaksiptar
nan ila panginahanglan kan God sanan sa Ija kamatuoran.

"Holy Spirit, be
my teacher and guide. Open my ears to hear God's word and open my eyes to
understand God's action in my life. May my heart never grow dull and may my
ears never tire of listening to the voice of Christ."
