Mark 4:10-12 And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him about the parable.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And when he was alone, those who were about him with the twelve asked him about the parable. ¹¹ And he said to them, To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those who are outside, all these things are done in parables: ¹² That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven.
