. The point of the article is that even when Jesus himself preached in person, some people were too hard-headed to get the message. And they had freedom of choice to go their own way (to disaster, but we have free choice).

Funny, my bible says those that Jesus did not intend for them to hear or understand

Can you elaborate a bit? You wrote a dependent clause. Please finish the thought.

The text in question is Mark 6:1-6. Please post the name of the translation, as well as the exact citation of Mark 6:1-6, that says anything about Jesus "intend[ing] that they not hear or understand".

I've looked at 4 Protestant translations (KJV, NKJV, NASB, ASB) and can't find that language. All of them (except for some archaic English ... "thence" and the like) are substantially similar to the reading I heard at Mass yesterday.

Gospel of Mark >> He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. <<

Hmmm... what bible are you reading?
