Matthew 13:11-13

LITV(i) 11 And answering, He said to them, Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but it has not been given to those. 12 For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have overabundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 13 Because of this, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
