Matthew 13:12-14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
12 For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will [a]be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
13 This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because [b]having the power of seeing, they do not see; and [c]having the power of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp and understand.
14 In them indeed is [d]the process of fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: You shall indeed hear and hear but never grasp and understand; and you shall indeed look and look but never see and perceive.

Matthew 13:12-14
New International Version
12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.(A) 13 This is why I speak to them in parables:
“Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.(B)
14 In them is fulfilled(C) the prophecy of Isaiah:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
