Matthew 13:11-13

“You're privileged to have revealed to you the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but they're not given such insights,” Jesus replied. “Those who already have will have more given to them, more than enough. But those who don't have, whatever they have will be taken away from them. That's why I speak to them in illustrations. For even though they see, they don't see; and even though they hear, they don't hear; nor do they understand.
