Matthew 13:11

The Reason For The Parables

¹⁰ And the disciples having come near, said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? ¹¹ And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given. ¹² For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him.
