They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.

Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
