The Purpose of Parables
10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
11 He answered and said to them, “Because ait has been given to you to know the1 mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
12 aFor whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
a‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not bperceive;
a‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not bperceive;
