Matthew 13:15
Arabic SVD 1865 Version (Smith and Van Dyke)
ما معنى هذا؟
This verse from Matthew explains that the people have become hardened in their hearts and unwilling to listen or see clearly, so they cannot understand and turn towards God's healing. Jesus is speaking here.
شرح للأطفال
Imagine you have a favorite toy that you don't want to share with others because you think it might get broken. In this story, people are like kids who keep their toys hidden away from each other so no one can play together and learn new things. Jesus wants everyone to open up and enjoy what he has for them.
السياق التاريخي
Matthew wrote this account of Jesus' teachings during the first century AD when Jesus was traveling around teaching in parables. The audience primarily consisted of Jewish people who were skeptical about Jesus' message due to their religious leaders' skepticism and hard-heartedness.

In today's world, we often see people closing themselves off from new ideas or refusing to listen to others because they fear change. This can prevent personal growth and healing. For instance, a person might ignore health advice that could help them live better just because it seems different or hard to accept.
