“The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son.
Jesus said to him, “A man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest I speak in parables, so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand.’
