Matthew 13:11-13

Williams(i) 11 He answered: "It is you and not they who are granted the privilege of knowing the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. 12 For to anyone who has, more will be given, and his supply will overflow, but from anyone who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 13 This is why I am speaking to them in stories, because they look but do not see, they listen but do not really hear or understand.
