Matthew 13:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Jesus answered, “Only you can know the secret truths about the kingdom of heaven. Other people cannot know these secret truths. ¹² The person who has something will be given more. And he will have all he needs. But the person who does not have much, even what he has will be taken from him. ¹³ This is why I use stories to teach the people: They see, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really understand.
