Mark 4:10-12

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Tells The Disciples The Purpose of Parables

¹⁰ And when He came-to-be alone, the ones around Him with the twelve were questioning Him as to the parables. ¹¹ And He was saying to them, “The mystery^[a] of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But all things come in parables to those outside ¹² in order that^[b] while seeing, they may be seeing and not perceive, and while hearing, they may be hearing and not understanding, that they may not ever turn-back and it be forgiven them”.
