Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ When he was in private, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of the parable. ¹¹ He said to them, It is your privilege to know the secrets of the Reign of God, but to those without everything is veiled in parables; ¹² that they may not perceive what they look at, or understand what they hear; lest they should be reclaimed, and obtain the forgiveness of their sins. ¹³ He said also to them, Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?
