10 (NIV) The disciples came
to him and asked, ÒWhy do you speak to the
people in parables?Ó 11 He replied, ÒThe
knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of
heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will
have an abundance. Whoever does not have,
even what he has will be taken from him.Ó
