Do you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:)

And Philip ran to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Do you understand what you read?

Because you may understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and not perceive:
