# To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says

"They are fulfilling what God said long ago through the prophet Isaiah"

# Listening, you will hear, but you will never understand; seeing, you will see, but you will never know

This begins a quote from the prophet Isaiah about the unbelieving people of Isaiah’s day. Jesus uses this quote to describe the crowd that was listening to him.

#  Listening, you will hear, but you will never understand

"You will hear what God says through the prophets, but you will not understand its true meaning" 

# seeing, you will see, but you will never know

"you will see what God does through the prophets, but you will not understand it"
