Mark 4:10-12 And when he happened to be alone, those who were around him together with the twelve, asked about the parable.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And when he happened to be alone, those who were around him together with the twelve, asked about the parable. ¹¹ And he said to them, You have been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things happen in parables; ¹² in order that seeing, they may see and yet may not know, and hearing, they may hear and yet may not understand; lest they should turn again and their sins might be forgiven them.
