Isaiah 6:9-13 to Mark 4:10-12 seem quite similar. One difference is that Mark 4:10-12 does specify (Mark 4:11) "outside" when referring to people who are Not Jesus Christ’s followers along with the twelve. However, Isaiah 6:9-13 seems to be focusing on all of the Israelites.
In any case, could someone please provide a deep contextual Comparison & Contrast of Isaiah 6:9-13 to Mark 4:10-12 (esp. in regards to seeing & hearing but Not comprehending)?
Isaiah 6:9-13 (New American Standard Bible 1995)
9 He said, “Go, and
tell this people:‘Keep on listening, but do not perceive;
Keep on looking, but do not understand.’
10 “Render the hearts of this people [a]insensitive,
Their ears [b]dull, And their eyes [c]dim, Otherwise they might see
with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts,
And return and be healed.”11 Then I said, “Lord, how long?” And He answered,
“Until cities are devastated and without inhabitant, Houses are
without peopleAnd the land is utterly desolate,
12 “The Lord has removed men far away, And the [d]forsaken places are
many in the midst of the land. 13 “Yet there will be a tenth portion
in it, And it will again be subject to burning, Like a terebinth or an
oak Whose stump remains when it is felled. The holy seed is its
stump.”
Mark 4:10-12 New American Standard Bible 1995
10 As soon as He was alone, [a]His followers, along with the twelve,
began asking Him about the parables. 11 And He was saying to them, “To
you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who
are outside get everything in parables, 12 so that while seeing, they
may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not
understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven.”
