Matthew 13:10-12

Christian Standard Bible

Why Jesus Used Parables

¹⁰ Then the disciples^(A) came up and asked him, “Why are you speaking to them in parables?” ^(B)

¹¹ He answered, “Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know,^(C) but it has not been given to them. ¹² For whoever has, more will be given to him, and he will have more than enough; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.^(D)
