Isaiah 42:20

So Herodias was incensed against John, and wanted to put him to death, but was unable to do so,

"Not only have you seen him," said Jesus; "but it is he who is now speaking to you."

But some of them said: "Could not this man, who gave sight to the blind man, have also prevented Lazarus from dying?"

But we shall be glad to hear from you what your views are, for, with regard to this sect, we are well aware that it is spoken against on all sides."

Why, then, you teacher of others, do not you teach yourself? Do you preach against stealing, and yet steal?

That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.

They did not understand that he meant the Father.
