Matthew 13:11

The Reason For The Parables

¹⁰ And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables? ¹¹ He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. ¹² But whosoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have more abundantly: but whosoever has not, it shall be taken from him even what he has.
