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

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it is not given. ¹² For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have in abundance; but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away even that which he has. ¹³ Therefore, I speak to them in parables because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
