Mark 4:10-13 And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked him of the parable.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And when he was alone, they that were about him, with the twelve, asked him of the parable. ¹¹ And he said to them, To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are in parables: ¹² So that seeing they see, and do not perceive, and hearing they hear, and do not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. ¹³ And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? How then will ye know all parables?
