¹¹ And ^[a]Jesus answered and said to them, “^(A)To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. ^12 (B)For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. ¹³ Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while ^(C)seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
