KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

10 G2532 And G3101 the disciples G4334 came [G5631] G2036 , and said [G5627] G846 unto him G1302 , Why G2980 speakest thou [G5719] G846 unto them G1722 in G3850 parables?

11 G611 He answered [G5679] G1161 and G2036 said [G5627] G846 unto them G3754 , Because G1325 it is given [G5769] G5213 unto you G1097 to know [G5629] G3466 the mysteries G932 of the kingdom G3772 of heaven G1161 , but G1565 to them G1325 it is G3756 not G1325 given [G5769] .

12 G1063 For G3748 whosoever G2192 hath [G5719] G846 , to him G1325 shall be given [G5701] G2532 , and G4052 he shall have more abundance [G5701] G1161 : but G3748 whosoever G2192 hath [G5719] G3756 not G575 , from G846 him G142 shall be taken away [G5701] G2532 even G3739 that G2192 he hath [G5719] .

13 G1223 Therefore G5124 G2980 speak I [G5719] G846 to them G1722 in G3850 parables G3754 : because G991 they seeing [G5723] G991 see [G5719] G3756 not G2532 ; and G191 hearing [G5723] G191 they hear [G5719] G3756 not G3761 , neither G4920 do they understand [G5719] .

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? ¹¹ And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. ¹² For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. ¹³ Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
