Matthew chapter 13 verse 10 ~ 12 10 And his disciples came to him and asked, why to them in parables? 11 and he answered and said to them, has been given to you too the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven but to them it has not been given. 12 for whoever has understanding, to him more shall be given, and he shall have in abundance: But whoever does not have understanding, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
