Matthew 13:10-15 And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables?

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And His disciples coming, said to Him; Wherefore do you speak to them in parables? ¹¹ He responding said to them, Because it has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it has not been given. ¹² But whosoever has, it shall be given to him, and he shall have more abundantly: but whosoever has not, it shall be taken from him even what he has. ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. ¹⁴ And the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled unto them, saying, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may not perceive. ¹⁵ Because the heart of this people is waxed gross, and they heard heavily with their ears, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I shall heal them.
