Philip ran to him, and hearing him read the prophet Esaias, said, do you understand what you read?

"go to this people and say, hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.

for the heart of this people is become gross, their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and I should heal them."
