Matthew 13:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Why Jesus Used Parables

¹⁰ Then the disciples^(A) came up and asked Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”^(B)

¹¹ He answered them, “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)
