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
