Matthew 13:11-13

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

¹¹ And the One, having responded, said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know^[a] the mysteries^[b] of the kingdom of the heavens. But it has not been given to those ones. ¹² For whoever has— it will be given to him, and he will be caused to abound. But whoever does not have— even what he has will be taken-away from him. ¹³ For this reason I am speaking to them in parables— because while seeing, they are not seeing; and while hearing, they are not hearing, nor understanding.
