Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Mt. 13.14, 15 · Mk. 4.12 · Lk. 8.10 · Joh. 12.40 · Acts 28.26, 27

|
| 13 |
But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
