14. And in them is fulfilled--rather, "is fulfilling," or "is receiving
its fulfilment."
the prophecy of Esaias, which saith--
(Isa 6:9, 10
--here quoted according to the Septuagint).
By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, &c.--They were
thus judicially sealed up under the darkness and obduracy which they
deliberately preferred to the light and healing which Jesus brought nigh
to them.
