Matthew 13:17 · Berean Standard Bible
For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
Context
15Kwa kuwa mioyo ya watu hawa imekuwa migumu;
hawasikii kwa masikio yao,
na wamefumba macho yao.
Wasije wakaona kwa macho yao,
na wakasikiliza kwa masikio yao,
wakaelewa kwa mioyo yao,
na kugeuka nami nikawaponya.’ 16Lakini heri macho yenu kwa sababu yanaona, na heri masikio yenu kwa sababu yanasikia. 17Amin, nawaambia, manabii wengi na wenye haki walitamani kuona yale mnayoyaona lakini hawakuyaona, na walitamani kusikia yale mnayoyasikia lakini hawakuyasikia. 18“Sikilizeni basi maana ya ule mfano wa mpanzi: 19Mtu yeyote anaposikia neno la Ufalme naye asilielewe, yule mwovu huja na kunyakua kile kilichopandwa moyoni mwake. Hii ndiyo ile mbegu iliyopandwa kando ya njia.
