Bible in Basic English 1965

And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

See the chapter Copy

And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

And he gave them teaching in the form of a story, saying, A man went out to put seed in the earth;

He who has ears, let him give ear.

And when he was by himself, those who were round him with the twelve put questions to him about the purpose of the stories.

And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.
