Kwa nini Yesu Alitumia Simulizi Kufundisha

(Mt 13:10-17; Lk 8:9-10)

10 Yesu alipokuwa peke yake, wale waliomzunguka na wale kumi na wawili walimuuliza kuhusu mifano hiyo.

11 Akawaambia, “Ni ninyi tu mliojaliwa kuzifahamu siri juu ya Ufalme wa Mungu. Lakini kwa wale walio nje nanyi mambo yote yatasemwa kwa simulizi zenye mafumbo, 12 Ili kwamba,

‘japo watatazama
    sana hawataona,
na kwamba japo watasikia
    sana hawataelewa;
vinginevyo,
    wangegeuka na kusamehewa!’”(A)

“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
    and ever hearing but never understanding;
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’[a](C)

10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
