Matthew 13:11-13 But he answered and said to them, It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but it has not given to those men.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ But he answered and said to them, It has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but it has not given to those men. ¹² For who ever has, to him will be given and he will abound, but who ever does not have, even what he has will be taken away 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.
