Matthew 13:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ Jesus answered, “The knowledge about the secrets of the Kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. ^12 (A)For the person who has something will be given more, so that he will have more than enough; but the person who has nothing will have taken away from him even the little he has. ¹³ The reason I use parables in talking to them is that they look, but do not see, and they listen, but do not hear or understand.
