And Micaiah said, If you return to come back in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, All you people, pay attention!

And when He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, Hear Me, everyone, and understand:

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.

Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples,

who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.

When anyone hears the Word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is that which was sown by the wayside.

Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand),

And He said, Go, and tell this people, You listen to hear, but do not understand; you look to see, but do not perceive.

Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

And He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full true knowledge of Him,

For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the full true knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
