Matthew 13:11

The Reason For The Parables

¹⁰ And the disciples came and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? ¹¹ He answered and said to them, Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given. ¹² For whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even what he hath.
