Matthew 13:11-13 He answered, and said to them: Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ He answered, and said to them: Because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it is not given. ¹² For whoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him. ¹³ For this reason I speak to them in parables; because when they see, they see not; and when they hear, they hear not, nor do they understand.
