Matthew 13:10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Then the disciples came and asked him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”

See the chapter Copy

He answered, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

And he told them many things in parables, saying: “Listen! A sower went out to sow.

If you have ears, hear!”

When he was alone, those who were around him along with the twelve asked him about the parables.

Then his disciples asked him what this parable meant.
