An Explanation for Parables

¹⁰ And the disciples came up and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” ¹¹ And ^[a]Jesus answered them, “^(A)To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted. ^12 (B)For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
