Mark 4:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ As soon as He was alone, ^[a]His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. ¹¹ And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but ^(A)those who are outside get everything ^(B)in parables, ¹² so that ^(C)while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven.”
