Cum autem audisset Jesus quod Joannes traditus esset, secessit in Galil�am :
ut videntes videant et non videant, et audientes audiant et non intellegant, ne quando convertantur, et dimittatur eis".
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
That seeing: Rather, as יםב [Strong's G2443] frequently denotes, "So that seeing they see, and do not perceive, and hearing they hear, and do not understand," etc. The expression appears to be proverbial; and relates to those who might see what they now overlook through inattention and folly. See the parallel texts. Deuteronomy 29:4, Isaiah 6:9, Isaiah 6:10, Isaiah 44:18, Jeremiah 5:21, Matthew 13:14, Matthew 13:15, Luke 8:10, John 12:37-41, Acts 28:25-27, Romans 11:8-10
be converted: Jeremiah 31:18-20, Ezekiel 18:27-32, Acts 3:19, 2 Timothy 2:25, Hebrews 6:6
Reciprocal: Psalms 80:7 - we shall Psalms 106:7 - Our Jeremiah 36:3 - that I Ezekiel 12:2 - which Daniel 8:15 - sought Zechariah 7:12 - lest Matthew 18:3 - Except Mark 8:18 - see Luke 11:34 - but John 12:40 - hath Acts 5:31 - forgiveness Acts 28:26 - Go

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 13:10-17. On Mark 4:12, see the notes at John 12:39-40.
When he was alone - That is, separate from the multitude. When he withdrew from the multitude a few followed him for the purpose of more instruction.
Mark 4:13
Know ye not this parable? - This which is so plain and obvious.
How then will ye know all parables? - Those which are more difficult and obscure. As they were themselves to be “teachers,” it was important that they should be acquainted with the whole system of religion - of much more importance for them at that time than for the mass of the people.
