Matthew 13:10

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Jesus' disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you use nothing but stories when you speak to the people?”

See the chapter Copy

Jesus answered: I have explained the secrets about the kingdom of heaven to you, but not to others.

Then he taught them many things by using stories. He said: A farmer went out to scatter seed in a field.

If you have ears, pay attention!

When Jesus was alone with the twelve apostles and some others, they asked him about these stories.

Jesus' disciples asked him what the story meant.
