And Jesus, having answered, spake to them in parables, saying,
The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made a nuptial feast for his son.
And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and called many;
And he said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: and to the rest in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
