Jesus
spoke in parables
And the disciples came and said to Him,
“Why do You speak to them in parables?”
He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given
to you to know the mysteries
of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been
given. For whoever has, to him
more will be given, and he will have abundance; but
whoever does not have, even what
he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak
to them in parables, because seeing
they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do
they understand. (Matthew 13:10-17)
